The Shiv Sena has sharply criticised the violence that took place in North East Delhi saying that even 'Yamaraj' (god of death) will resign from his post witnessing such 'barbarism'.

"The scene of the Delhi riots is heart-wrenching. Seeing the inhuman orgy of death, Yamraj will also resign from his post. Innocent children of Hindus and Muslims became orphans. We are creating a new world of orphans. The photo of Mudassar Khan's child, which was published worldwide, is a rip-off," the Shiv Sena wrote in its editorial mouthpiece.

"A photo of a boy standing in front of his dad's dead body was viral on social media. Who were those people who took life of over 50 people in violence? 50 is just a figure, but in reality, it will be over 100 and over 500 have been injured. Even after looking at the images of children who lost their family members, if people still believe in Hindu-Muslim, it is the death of humanity," the party said in Saamana.

In India, many children were orphaned due to riots and many other in Maharashtra were orphaned due to unseasonal rains, the party said.

The party also mentioned several stories of children who lost their parents in the violence in which over 50 people were killed. It also narrated stories of parents who lost their children, be it Hindus or Muslims.

The Sena further added how the world in fighting over religion and "we are on the verge of major destruction".

"The world has reached the threshold of destruction because of the controversy over Hindutva, secularism, Hindu-Muslim, and Christian-Muslim. None of the gods run to help humans. Even the government shuts its door at the time of such crisis," the Shiv Sena said.

"Thomas Edison did not believe in any religion. But today, because of science and his invention, light reaches every house. More than religion, electricity is important. Religion won't give good or even a shelter," the editorial added.

The Shiv Sena even rejected people's offering to gods at a time when the coronavirus outbreak has gripped China along with the world.

"Look at how China is suffering today. People in the world have so many diseases but they resort to prayers. But, in the end, they have to intake medicine discovered by flamingo to get cured. Allah could not save Muddasar Khan; Bhagwan could not save Ankit Sharma. Look at the condition in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan -- so many kids have lost their parents," the Sena stated in Saamana.
