Trilokpuri communal violence an unpardonable act: AAP
28 Oct 2014 4:49 AM IST
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday alleged that communal violence in Trilokpuri is an unpardonable act which has been committed in a pre-planned manner to polarise society on religious lines.
‘AAP appeals to the people of the area to maintain peace and calm, and no attention should be given to rumours being spread by people with vested interests to create discord between communities,’ said AAP in a press statement.
The party has sought a report from its MLAs – Raju Dhingan and Manoj Kumar, representing Trilokpuri and Kondli assembly constituencies about the reasons behind the communal flare-up and the prevailing situation. Both of them have been spending their nights in the affected area to prevent any further disturbance. ‘The first-hand account narrated by them has brought out very disturbing developments, which make it clear that there is a political design behind this communal tension in Trilokpuri and its adjoining areas,’ said the statement.
The AAP demands that the Delhi Police should probe the role of former BJP MLA Sunil Kumar Vaidya in the entire incident, since there are credible reports that he had convened a meeting on Diwali night and trouble started only after that. Though the police have increased its presence in the tension-hit area, effective steps to prevent rumours being spread need to be taken. The attempts to create communal discord need to be nipped in the bud and the Delhi administration needs to wake up before it is too late.
‘It has been reported in the media that the Union home ministry had alerted the Delhi Police about the possibility of communal tension around Diwali in some parts of the Capital, since neither the home ministry nor the police have denied the existence of such an advisory, people have the right to know what preventive steps were taken,’ said the statement.
