Delhi based newspaper the Indian Express says recent anti-Muslim violence in Delhi was a failure of state institutions in maintaining rule of law.           

In an opinion piece, the paper writes that the violent incidents in Delhi are a matter of grave concern as they will have larger implications on the country's internal stability due to insecurity among the minorities.       

The paper opines that a thorough inquiry must be done to identify the police officers who committed the lapses that led to the riot.
