First they instigate at Shaheen Bagh, then they accuse BJP: Vijay Goel on AAP

Ahead of the upcoming Delhi elections on February 8, BJP leader Vijay Goel on Monday slammed the Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party for not fulfilling its promises and creating an atmosphere of fear among the people of Delhi.

While interacting with a news agency the BJP leader said, "First they instigate people at Shaheen Bagh, and then they accuse us (BJP). AAP leaders keep saying that big riots will happen, I think they are setting the grounds for big riots and then blame BJP. At Shaheen Bagh, Kapil Sibbal had said that CAA will have to be implemented because it has become a law."

Adding further, the BJP leader also appealed the Shaheen Bagh anti-CAA protesters to call off their protests as it is causing inconvenience to the people of Delhi.
