Rahul Gandhi slams BJP over Delhi Eid violence fears as HC orders police
Rahul Gandhi accuses the BJP of stoking riot-like tensions in Delhi amid Uttam Nagar violence worries; the Delhi High Court has asked police to ensure peace.
Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the BJP of stoking riot-like conditions in Delhi, as tensions in Uttam Nagar after Tarun’s murder fueled concerns over Eid violence. He urged residents to resist provocation and stand united to keep the city calm.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the police and civil administration to take all necessary steps to ensure peace and safety in Uttam Nagar, underscoring the need for vigilance and quick action to prevent any flare-ups ahead of Eid.
The episode on March 4, marked by clashes between two communities, left a 26-year-old man dead, highlighting the fragility of peace in the area and the stakes as Eid approaches.
Observers note the political dimension of the dispute, with opposition leaders condemning violence while authorities pledge impartial enforcement of law and order.
As Delhi prepares for Eid, residents are advised to report provocative acts to authorities and stay away from crowded areas where tensions might surge.
