Those responsible for Delhi violence “should not be spared,” Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said this morning after meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the first meet since he took charge for a third term.
“I told him we should try such riots should not happen again in the national capital. Those who are responsible for the clashes – whether they belong to any party – should not be spared, I appealed to the Prime Minister,” he said.
“Also, we discussed the spread of coronavirus. One case has been reported been in Delhi, another in Telangana. It’s a lethal disease spreading across the world.
On being asked about “hate speech” allegations against political leaders, including those from the BJP, Mr Kejriwal said: “Hate speech wasn’t specifically discussed.”
Last week, Mr Kejriwal had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah o over the clashes. “Amit Shah assured all help. We decided we must rise above politics,” Mr Kejriwal had said after the meeting. The violence happened at a time when US President Donald Trump and his family were on a two-day visit to India.
