NCP MP Supriya Sule while talking to the media asserted that there should be a thorough inquiry into the clash between the students and police in Delhi. She said that she has never seen anything of this sort before and it is very “unfortunate” that such an incident took place. She also claimed that all of this is the responsibility of the Union Home Ministry as the Delhi police reports to the Centre.

While talking about the violence that erupted in Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi, Supriya Sule held the Union Home Ministry responsible for police action. She said, “It is very sad that Delhi police reports to the Central government and not the Delhi government. So, it comes under the Union Home Ministry and they are responsible for the police’s action in the national capital. It is very unfortunate that this government is only into election and advertisement, they don’t have the time to stand with the common man. They only work from election to election”.

Sule also stressed that there should be a probe into this case. She said, “Today Delhi’s common man feels very insecure and it is very unfortunate. There should be a thorough inquiry into the lathi charge done by police on the students. I was watching the incident on the TV, I saw the police attacking students. I have never seen this happen before there should definitely be an inquiry into this.”
