Kejriwal meets kin of murder victim, says ‘jungle raj’ in Delhi
NEW DELHI: Former Delhi chief minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday met a family in west Delhi’s Naraina whose two members were killed in a span of six months by the criminals.
He slammed the Centre over the deteriorating law and order situation in the city and said people here had never witnessed such times of rise in crime. “Goons and criminals are roaming freely,” he said.
“Two days ago, a young man was murdered in the evening. The tragic part is that six months ago, his younger brother was also murdered. His younger brother was murdered on May 22nd. After that incident, the family wrote to the police, informing them that they were facing serious threats from certain individuals and requested protection for their entire family. Unfortunately, the police took no action, and now, the elder brother has also been murdered. This is an extremely sorrowful and alarming situation,” the AAP supremo added.
“Delhi people never witnessed such times of chaos and Jungle Raj all around. Anybody can murder anybody. When it was known that those who killed one member of the family, could kill someone else, why was no action taken to stop them?” he further asked.
“When I visited the family to meet them, I found several local residents gathered there. They revealed that the entire Naraina area is aware of five to six individuals who have been wreaking havoc in the locality, troubling everyone. Yet, the police have done nothing to address the issue,” Kejriwal said.
He urged the BJP and the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to provide safety to Delhi people who were feeling unsafe.
The BJP has hit back at Kejriwal saying he was raising the law and order issues to deflect attention from the corruption and failures of the AAP government.
Motivational Speaker Ojha joins AAP
New Delhi: Civil services coaching teacher and motivational speaker Avadh Ojha on Monday joined the AAP in the presence of party chief Arvind Kejriwal and senior leader Manish Sisodia.
Kejriwal said that Ojha’s experience and vision will give new direction to the party’s education policies. “Avadh Ojha is a renowned name in the field of education. He motivates young people not just academically but also on how to live a good life.”
