Jahangirpuri Violence Latest News LIVE: Aam Aadmi Party alleges BJP involvement in religious clashes that led to over 20 arrests – The Economic Times
The BJP leader also alleged that one of the arrested accused in the violence was an AAP activist. Twenty-one people have been arrested in connection with the stone-pelting and arson in which some vehicles were also torched during the clashes between two communities on Saturday evening.
In a statement, the AAP said it also celebrated Hanuman Janamotsav and took out a Shobha Yatra (procession) in Greater Kailash which saw “heartwarming” interfaith bonding and respect. The Delhi government also organised recitation of Sundarkand in the Gole Market area later in the day on Saturday, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party said.
“Why is it that such violence doesn’t take place in AAP’s events and only happens when BJP organises it?” it asked.
The party said that Delhi BJP president Gupta recently honoured and felicitated “eight goons who were arrested for vandalism and hooliganism” outside the residence of Delhi chief minister.

Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol defy surrender-or-die demand
