This breach by the mob pressured members of the House and Senate to droop a joint session of Congress which was to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in just lately concluded 2020 US election.
That has type of ‘shocked’ the Indian ‘liberals’. In reality, many used the assault on Capitol Hill to ‘caution’ on how there might be such incident in India too. Have a glance.
A reminder to democracies like India. The day will not be far after we witness this terrorism on our soil. This disgraceful supremacy enabled by social media propaganda and conspiracy theories is ready to be unleashed in our yard. We are witnessing the construct up every day..— Rana Ayyub (@RanaAyyub) January 6, 2021

Some like The Wire worker Arfa Khanum Sherwani even in contrast the Trump supporters storming the Capitol Hill to America’s Babri demolition second.
Yes,that is America’s ‘Babri Masjid demolition’ second.But get down out of your ethical excessive horse as a result of we ‘accomplished’ this a lot earlier than America did.And I’m assured that the US courts will nonetheless not hand over the Capitol Hill to those white supremacist terrorists.— Arfa Khanum Sherwani (@khanumarfa) January 7, 2021
Which is type of bizarre since Capitol Hill will not be a disputed construction standing on stays of what was a Hindu temple. In reality, to place issues in perspective, it’s extra just like the Indian Parliament. Where the members of the parliament come and talk about legislations and kind insurance policies.
A extra applicable comparability of assault on US parliament constructing could be the 2001 Indian Parliament assault by the Islamic terrorists. You understand how these ‘liberals’ reacted?

Slogans have been raised in Jawaharlal Nehru University hailing Afzal Guru. “Afzal hum sharminda hai, tere kaatil zinda hai,” was one of many slogans raised. Umar Khalid, a former JNU pupil, was indicted by Delhi Police for sedition within the case. He was just lately cost sheeted for conspiring for the 2020 Delhi riots.
The Indian ‘liberals’ have rallied and put their weight behind the likes of Umar Khalid and demanded he be launched from jail.
So once they categorical shock and put up dystopian situations for India by evaluating the identical with pro-Trump supporters attacking Capitol Hill, it simply seems too hypocritical even by their requirements.
