"I have been predicting that unless the international community intervenes, these developments will have disastrous consequences not only for the region but eventually for the world also," the prime minister said. Khan also shared the images from New Delhi depicting the children mourning over bodies of their slain parents, injured lying on streets, Muslim families fleeing the area, ransacked houses, and gutted mosque and markets.
According to reports, the death toll from five days of anti-Muslim violence in the Indian capital has risen to 42, making it the worst religious rioting Delhi has seen.
Over 250 people have been injured, dozens of them shot.
The unrest is the latest bout of violence over Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's citizenship law, which triggered months of demonstrations that turned deadly in December.
