Riot After Riot

Trouble started in Amravati last Friday when the Raza academy, a Sunni Muslim group headquartered out of south-central Mumbai’s congested Mohammed Ali Road area, led processions across many towns like Nanded, Malegaon and Amravati in Maharashtra protesting against the violence in Tripura against Muslims. Now, the Raza Academy claims to be a literary and charitable organization: apart from publishing books on religion, it worked amongst Covid victims last year and also during the Kerala floods. But it also has led street protests as a devout ‘Islamic’ organization.
