A large number of people assembled at Egypt’s Tahrir Square on Friday demanding immediate ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. Protestors called it a “day of departure” for Mr Mubarak, who ignored the mounting global pressure to step down, saying it would plunge Egypt into chaos. In an interview to ABC television, he said he cared about his country and was unhappy about the violence but his government was not responsible for it. Reports say journalists were manhandled on Friday by Mubarak supporters. Al-Jazeera TV Channel said that people stormed its office and attackers burned the office and damaged equipment. US State Department Spokesman Robert Gibbs said systematic targeting of journalists was unacceptable.Egypt's Health Ministry has said that 12 people were killed and more than 1,200 injured in the fighting at Tahrir square so far. Meanwhile, reiterating his call for immediate start of an orderly transition in Egypt, US President Barack Obama has expressed hope that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be able to make the right decision. He said since Mubarak himself announced he was not going to contest next Presidential election in September, he should be thinking on how to leave a legacy behind in which Egypt is able to get through this transformative period. Addressing a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Washington, Obama said Mubarak needed to consult with those who are in his government in this regard. India, meanwhile, has said more evacuations of its citizens could be under taken from Cairo in Egypt, if needed. Calling the detention and mishandling of journalists in Cairo, unfortunate, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao asked the Indian media to be in close touch with the Embassy. She said the Indian mission was in touch with the Indian community, including 1,037 students at Al-Azhar University. She informed that the students were fine. Rao said there were about 3,600 Indian nationals living across Egypt, including Cairo and Alexandria. She said about 500 people had so far been evacuated from the strife torn Cairo.
