Deputy Commissioner of Delhi Police Rajesh Deo has told the Delhi High Court it has not seen the video of Kapil Mishra threatening violence in northeast Delhi. This one headline alone tells you everything you need to know about the violence in Delhi. Kapil Mishra is a BJP leader, the Delhi Police is run directly by Home Minister Amit Shah, the right-hand man of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Kapil Mishra made his provocative speech in the presence of a senior Delhi Police officer, making it clear that he wanted his followers to take the law in their own hands.
The Delhi pogrom of 2020 is state-sponsored. Anyone who cannot see that is pretending to be blind. In numerous accounts, videos and photos, we see the Delhi Police purportedly aiding and abetting the violence, either by looking away or actually participating in it.
What was the purpose of this violence? First, it was to prevent the scaling up of the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests. The women sitting in Seelampur, a Muslim-dominated slum area, rightly felt it was no use sitting there. Shaheen Bagh got attention by virtue of being in south Delhi, even though it is in a Muslim-dominated area. But Seelampur? It was like speaking to themselves.
Responding to a Bharat Bandh call by Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, the women decided to move their protest to a road underneath the Jaffrabad metro station Saturday night. This blocked a road. Unless you block a main road, how do you get the attention of the mainstream? This is not the first time a road has been blocked by a group of protesting people.
This is a model that could well be applied soon to other protest sites, Shaheen Bagh and others, in Delhi and elsewhere. We saw a trailer of this in some BJP-ruled states earlier: Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka, even in Jamia area in Delhi. In the Jamia Millia Islamia violence, the excuse of a burnt bus was used to beat up students even inside the university library. The idea is to use violence to create a consensus that the anti-CAA protesters are violent Islamists.
At the heart of this debate is also a claim to public space. Section 144 does not seem to apply to state-backed mobs. The police provides them security or stands by. But for anti-CAA protesters, all the laws come down heavily on them, preventing them from protesting.
Shivam and his ilk are frothing in their mouths at the chance to pile on Modi government. Urban naxals like him created the riots in an orchestrated plot to coincide with the Trump visit and are now savouring the fruits of their labour. I hope the investigation will reveal the masterminds behind the conspiracy.
The article by Shivam is totally biased. I suspect that he has a sinister plan to instigate the Muslims further for more violence and hatred. It is because of such journalists that the country has come to such a pass. One starts wondering if it is a misfortune for being born as a HINDU in this country, where you are blamed for the atrocities committed by Muslims. He should be prosecuted for spreading hatred in the society in this surcharged atmosphere. The country will be better off without such callous writers.
The print is a communist mentality media.
You idiot are spewing your venom on my popular govt.&best ever PM.
YOU NONSENSE,Writing truth is your religion but you have been writing false .
So you are falsehood.
YOUR MEDIA IS A GONE CASE.
SEE HOW MANY PERSONS READ YOUR STORY IN COMPLETE MANNER.
I HATE THE PRINT.
I SPIT ON IT.
WTF. If Amit Shah & Kapil Mishra culprits ,then why are stones/acid/petrol bomb being thrown on police from rooftops in muslim dominated localities ? Is that gunman Mohammad Shahrukh seen firing & pointing gun at cop , a BJP agent ?
Cute, think about writing conspiracy theories as profession? On the other hand, how about facts.
Fact 1 : realising that SC is taking its sweet time, muslims decided to up the ante to humiliate government in front of Trump, hence jaffarbad nonsense
Fact 2: realising that the muslims would think they can get away with this, locals decided that they cant stand public spaces being taken over by a venomous minority known for terrorism and voilence across world
Fact 3: now the said minority crying victimhood. Too late
Dear Shivam,
Please stop this. You are one of the worst conspiracy theorist and fear monger, putting to shame even the likes of Warris Pathan and Parvesh Verma. You are just their dignified version.. What happened? You were so sensible at one point of time. Now you are just talking/ writing crap.
Abe what do you know about RSS?
Abe idiot tell me just one line positive&negative EACH about RSS.
Abe nonsense During 1999 super cyclone in Odisha,RSS was the 1st ever organisation to do relief works aklvthrough out the state as i have seen in my own eyes.
Abe i can count 1000s of such works of RSS through out the world.
What do you know,you explain.
Do not say looter-corrupt-dynast congis&surname changed-duplicate gandhis language.
It is surprising that those indulged in violence are openly claiming that the Muslims have entered India from under barbered wire through trench in same way lije shown in Bajrangi Bhajan. It was Amit Shah who called Ghyspaytias.
Every point rightly said. When the delhi High Court talked about action not taken against the four BJP leaders for inciting violence, it ought to have also condemned the arrest of Dr. Khafeel khan, under charges of sedition, and order his release.
so biased opinion . Clearly people like you hate bjp so much that anything you will find , you will without any check, accuse the government and bjp.Firing was started by shahrukh, who was by people like you, projected as a pro caa person, but when it was found out that he was an anti caa protester, you all gone silent. What a neutrality, you deserve a appreciation of our self declared intellectual , secular lobby. When muslim is the oppressor and hindu is oppressed, they either go silent or try to justify it, but when the situation is reverse, without even full information, they come in all lock stock barrel to curse the hindus of this country. It is not a protest against caa, proposed nrc or npr, rather it is a frustration that is coming out on the streets by anti caa protesters because of the bold decisions taken by this government which it promised in its manifesto and it got 303 seats in parliament , and fulfilled it like abolition of article 370, abolition of triple talaq, swift paper work and efforts to convince the judiciary to resolve ram mandir issue swiftly and then the citizenship amendment act . It was also done so as to draw the attention of world media and world on the day of donald trump arrival in india and also, because the government did not pay any attention to their unjustified demand, that is roll back of caa. It is a very bold and good stand taken by the government in the national interest of this great country.
This is not the first election that amit shah lost. According to the writer shivam vij we should have seen wide spread riots in all the states bjp lost in the recent months. Why only Delhi? Coz Delhi was the petridish for a dangerous experiment called shaheen bagh and what has happened is just a trailer of a sinister plan to break India. INDIA should wake up and stand united against this leftist idealogy which thrives on anarchy and chaos
