Chaotic condition of law and order: Kejriwal calls for Shah’s resignation

Wednesday, 04 December 2024 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal stepped up his attack on the BJP and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, calling for his resignation if he could not handle the "chaotic" law-and-order situation in the national capital.

There is chaos all over and people are afraid of stepping out of their homes due to the rising crimes, he alleged after meeting the kin of a youth who was stabbed to death outside his house in a Pitampura slum cluster.

"Two youths were attacked by seven to eight local boys in this area. Manish was stabbed multiple times and I was told that he died because he could not be taken to hospital in time. The other victim, Himanshu, was saved. Police have not recorded his statement as a witness," Kejriwal said.

"If Amit Shah is unable to handle law and order in Delhi and his concern is only making political tours across the country then he should resign," the former Delhi chief minister said.

He alleged that the police were threatening the victims and not taking action against the accused.

No immediate reaction was available from the Delhi Police which is controlled by the Union Home Ministry.Kejriwal said that AAP will unite the people and "force" the BJP-led Centre to ensure people's safety in the city.

Alleging that drug abuse, chain snatching and other such crimes were rampant in Delhi, the AAP supremo claimed he was getting numerous phone calls, requesting him to visit their areas which he would do and raise people's issues.

AAP  Rajya MP Raghav Chadha filed a Suspension of Business notice in Rajya Sabha under rule 267 on Tuesday, seeking to discuss the 'deteriorating law and order' situation and the 'rise in crimes' in the national capital. AAP Rajya MP Sanjay Singh has also filed an adjournment motion notice in the upper house seeking to discuss the deteriorating law and order situation concerning the 'increasing crimes' in Delhi.

On Monday, he visited to the family of two brothers in west Delhi’s Naraina, who were killed in separate incidents over the past few months.
