After blaming the central government on behalf of Kejriwal, Delhi BJP’s State General Secretary Kuljit Chahal said that Kejriwal and his people are behind the riots. Arvind Kejriwal has spoiled the atmosphere in Delhi. Chahal said that it has been learned from sources that there was a pre-planned attack on the procession in Jahangirpuri. In which Aam Aadmi Party goons and leaders supported by Kejriwal are included. Earlier also there were riots in Delhi, so AAP leader Tahir Hussain had a role. Even at that time, Kejriwal had appealed to the public for peace. Chahal raised the question that where did so many glass bottles and stones come from? He said that I request Arvind Kejriwal not to burn Delhi.
On the other hand, on this incident, Delhi Pradesh Congress President Chaudhary Anil Kumar has said that the incident of Jahangirpuri is very sad. Maintain the mutual brotherhood of Delhi. At the same time, Congress Minority Department chief Imran Pratapgarhi has appealed to the people of Delhi to stay united and avoid rumours. Congress ally Rashtriya Janata Dal RJD MP Manoj Jha has demanded strict action in this matter. Along with this, he has also targeted those giving hate speech.
