Delhi Assembly on Monday witnessed noisy scenes over arrest of arrest of liaquat Ali Shah, who the Delhi Police claimed was a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist. While BJP leader VK Malhotra welcomed arrest of Shah, RJD MlA from Okhla Asif Mohammed Khan slammed it and questioned Delhi Police’s claim.
Almost all the BJP legislators protested Khan’s comment against police and warned him not to “play politics” on the issue.
“I condemn all those who seem to support liaquat. It is a question of Delhi’s security. Nobody should play politics on the issue,” he said. Immediately after Malhotra’s comment, Khan accused BJP of having soft corner for certain elements who are allegedly trying to create communal tension prompting strong reaction from the opposition members. Khan demanded a proper inquiry into the whole controversy. Amid ruckus in the House Speaker Yoganad Shastri adjourned the House for 30 minutes. SR
