The Aam Aadmi Party has on repeated incidents blamed the Centre for the deteriorating law and order situation in the national capital claiming that it was the 'sole preserve and constitutional responsibility' of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Union government.
Last week, party MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to take responsibility for the murder of 25-year-old Rinku Sharma in Mangolpuri, stating that he should resign over the shocking incident. "Earlier, only Muslims used to feel threatened under the BJP, now Dalits, Sikhs, and Hindus also feel threatened," he said while addressing a press conference.
Kejriwal's latest tweet comes in reference to the murder of an eight-year-old girl, whose body was found in a sugarcane field three days after she was kidnapped from East Delhi. All accused have been arrested in the incident by the Delhi Police.
The other case refers to the daylight stabbing that took place in Southeast Delhi's Kalkaji area where a 17-year-old boy was beaten up for allegedly opposing three boys who were stalking his sister. According to a senior police officer, three boys had followed the boy's sister and passed indecent remarks at her. When he objected to it, he was beaten up and stabbed in the abdomen. The 17-year-old is currently hospitalized in the AIIMS Trauma Centre. Meanwhile, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has sent a notice to Delhi Police in the matter.
