In another shocking remark, BJP leader Amit Malviya on Tuesday asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to suggest his "Muslim supporters restore peace" in the national capital.

Slamming CM Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs visit to Raghat, Amit Malviya said instead of vowing silence for the peace of Delhi, he should ask the Muslim protestors to restore peace and open the roads which have been shut for over 70 days.  

"Instead of going to Rajghat and pretending to vow silence over violence in Delhi, it would be better if Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal suggests his party MLAs and Muslim supporters to restore peace.

Also, the roads which have been closed by Muslims should also be opened. Delhi has been a hostage for the last 70 days," Amit Malviya said in a tweet in Hindi.
