The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has intensified its attack on the Centre following a series of violent incidents in the city, accusing it of neglecting Delhi's law and order situation ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal expressed grave concern over the worsening law and order situation in Delhi, directly holding the BJP and Union Home Minister Amit Shah responsible. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Saturday met the family of the victims of the Govindpuri stabbing at AIIMS and declared that Delhi has become a crime capital.
The former Delhi chief minister expressed alarm over a series of violent incidents, including a businessman being shot during a morning walk, a senior citizen's murder in Panchsheel Enclave, a surge in extortion calls and a double-stabbing in Govindpuri that occurred this morning
"People are panicked and law and order has been crippled. Senior citizens are frightened, women feel unsafe and gang wars are happening. Drugs are being sold in all corners of Delhi. Where is the Delhi Police? Where is the home minister? Kejriwal said. Over the BJP's claims that Rohingyas are behind some of the crimes, he said, "If they are Rohingyas, why hasn't the home minister stopped them at the Myanmar and Bangladesh borders? And if they've entered Delhi, why hasn't Delhi Police arrested them? Instead of politicising the issue, they should focus on ensuring the safety of Delhi's people." AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj, a minister in the party-led government in Delhi, claimed the assailants fired 6-7 rounds of bullets at Jain.In his social media post, Bharadwaj described Delhi as a “crime capital.”
Lambasting the BJP central government, Atishi asserted that criminals roam fearlessly, and if law and order aren’t restored, Delhiites will teach them a lesson. She called out the BJP-led Central Government for neglecting its sole responsibility in the capital: maintaining law and order.
