1, 2. The article says it was spontaneous and mutual riot with participation from Muslims as well. And court verdict went against the cause for which they caused the riot, putting a template to say "violence against muslim" not permissible unless rs there. Present a scholarly source on talk page that summaries the incident as "violence against Muslims". "the independent commission" is not a scholar or scholarly secondary source. --AmritasyaPutra^T 01:32, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amritasya, Vanamonde's edit summaries were fairly clear. An independent commission said that the Muslims were targeted by the police. To contest it, you need to find a reliable source that says otherwise, i.e., something that contests the commission's finding that the police targeted Muslims. How the riots started etc. are not all that relevant. Kautilya3 (talk) 07:32, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So this is being called a violence against muslims based on some "independent commission". Do we even have any details of this so called "independent commission" ? -sarvajna (talk) 19:20, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is actually an "independent people's tribunal". The report was cited. Did you try to read it? Kautilya3 (talk) 21:41, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Yes I did read, I missed "people's" from my previous statement (as you did in your previous statement) and my question still remains. It is a NGO from what I understand, so a enquiry by this NGO is used as a basis to declare it as Violence against Muslim? We need better sourcing if you want to use such a template -sarvajna (talk) 23:41, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

May be you can call it "Violence against muslims according to Independent people's tribunal" -sarvajna (talk) 23:46, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
