AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday stepped up his attack on the BJP-led central government over the “deteriorating” law and order situation in Delhi and sought a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss the issue.
In a letter to Shah, the former Delhi chief minister claimed that the city was being called the country’s “crime capital” as he cited the recent bomb threats to numerous schools as well as the IGI airport.
The letter comes ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls scheduled to be held in February 2025.
“It’s so shameful that under your watch, our grand capital due to failure of law and order is being called rape capital, gangster capital, drug capital,” Kejriwal said.
Crimes against women are rising, extortion gangs are active everywhere, drug mafia is spreading across the city and people are harassed by mobile phone and chain snatching incidents, he claimed.
In the past six months, more than 600 schools, more than 100 hospitals, malls and airport have received bomb threat messages, he said and questioned, “Why aren’t the culprits being arrested?”.
