Hyderabad, 19th April. The All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday spoke on the Jahangirpuri violence and said that under the rule of the Centre, as many as four such clashes have taken place in Delhi.
Owaisi raised questions over allegedly taking weapons during a religious procession in the Jahangirpuri area of the national capital.
Addressing a press conference, the AIMIM Chief said, “Delhi is a Union Territory that is directly under the control of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Under the current Central government’s regime, however, four clashes have been carried out in the national capital. These are lawyers’ protests in 2020 outside Tis Hazari court, North-East Delhi Violence in 2020, Republic Day protests by farmer unions and now, Jahangirpuri clash.”
Speaking about the prime accused Ansar’s defence, Owaisi claimed that ‘selective action’ was being undertaken by the Delhi Police.
“Ansar has been named as the accused in the probe. That kid Ansar is being arrested. It is a selective arrest and action. I am saying this openly. Delhi police are carrying out a selective action. Ansar is not the accused, he has controlled the mob. Media channels are showing selective things,” the AIMIM Chief said.
The Delhi Police has claimed to have arrested Ansar, one of the prime conspirators of the Jahangirpuri clash in the National Capital that broke out between two groups during Hanuman Jayanti procession on Saturday evening, and 13 other suspects.
According to the Delhi police, Ansar was found to be previously involved in two cases of assault.
Owaisi further claimed that the Delhi Police has arrested 14 people from the Muslim community and two have been apprehended as they are juveniles.
He said, “It is crystal clear that the government wanted violence in the national capital. Communal violence cannot take place without the government’s support. Communal violence is mostly taken out from religious processions. The Centre should be held responsible for the Jahangirpuri clash. Further, the Aam Aadmi Party-led Arvind Kejriwal is busy blaming Muslims in the area. Delhi CM is double-faced. He will try to please Hindus whenever he likes.”
