Khan’s tweet came in response to a tweet by Ayatollah Khamenei in which he urged India to “confront extremist Hindus” and “stop the massacre of Muslims”, adding to the international fallout over deadly violence targeting Muslims in the capital Delhi.
At least 53 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the worst communal riots in the Indian capital triggered the new citizenship law.

“The hearts of Muslims all over the world are grieving over the massacre of Muslims in India,” Khamenei said in a tweet in English, just days after Delhi reprimanded Iran’s foreign minister for commenting on the same issue.
“The government of India should confront extremist Hindus & their parties & stop the massacre of Muslims in order to prevent India’s isolation from the world of Islam,” he added. The tweet was accompanied by the hashtag #IndianMuslimslnDanger.

“We do not expect such comments from a country like Iran,” foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said in a statement later. The Citizenship Amendment Act provides non-Muslims from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan a fast track to Indian citizenship.
