The tribunal's order to stop razing buildings in Nuh and Gurugram comes amid escalating deadly violence perpetrated primarily by far-right Hindu supremacists against Muslims and other minorities.
An Indian high court on Monday ordered a halt to the destruction of Muslim homes and businesses in a district of Haryana state by the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party-led government, acts the tribunal suggested are"an exercise in ethnic cleansing."
Violence quickly spilled over into adjacent areas, including Gurugram—a finance and technology hub bordering the capital New Delhi—where a Hindu mob. Far-right Hindu supremacist groups aligned with the BJP have been pushing to end Friday prayers in Gurugram. "The genie of hate is now out of the bottle and it will take a lot of collective effort to put it back in."
