Prime Minister and FijiFirst Leader Voreqe Bainimarama says the reports of harassment suffered by our citizens and violence targeted at Indo-Fijian homes and businesses in the wake of the election are deeply disturbing.
In a Facebook post, Bainimarama says these attacks — which are no doubt fuelled by racist vitriol on social media — must end.
He says so long as it is their responsibility to serve in government, they will fulfil their duty to every Fijian's safety.
Bainimarama adds the RFMF has been deployed to complement the Police in maintaining law and order.
He says if you see violence being committed, report it.
We have asked Police on the number of cases of attacks against minority groups received, those under investigation and whether anyone is being questioned.
Police have not made any comments.
