NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. Thousands of panic-stricken Indians from the northeast were fleeing Bangalore on Thursday, spurred by rumors they would be attacked in retaliation for communal violence in their home state. Hundreds of students and workers from Assam state crowded Bangalore's main railway station to try to board trains heading out of the city, while officials tried in vain to assure them of their safety. People pushed and shoved and some climbed in through train windows to make it past the crush at the doors. Muslims across India have been alarmed by clashes in recent weeks between indigenous people in the northeastern state of Assam and Muslim settlers from neighboring Bangladesh. About 75 people have been killed and more than 400,000 displaced. So we debate today- Are vested interests misusing the Assam riots to inflame communal tensions? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX special NewsX@9.
