New Delhi, Dec 4 (Reporter) During the winter session of the Delhi Assembly on Wednesday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over deteriorating law and order in the National capital, raising placards and chanting slogans against the BJP and Union Home Minister Amit Shah outside the assembly premises. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi alleged that the BJP-led central government failed to ensure the safety of Delhi’s citizens. She expressed deep concern over a tragic incident that occurred in Delhi on Wednesday morning, where three members of a family were brutally murdered in Neb Sarai. “This is not the first instance of rising crime in Delhi. Today, no matter where you go in the city, gunshots can be heard, people are being openly stabbed to death, and drugs are being sold,” Atishi said. The CM also pointed out that in the past two months alone, two police officers have been killed in broad daylight. “The BJP-led central government has only one responsibility in Delhi to ensure the safety of its citizens. However, it is now abundantly clear that the BJP-governed central government has completely failed to keep the people of Delhi safe,” She said. Meanwhile, AAP Delhi State Convenor and Cabinet Minister Gopal Rai said that Delhi is rapidly becoming the “crime capital.” “This morning, three members of a family were killed. Not a single day passes without reports of traders being shot at, women being victimized, or murders taking place,” he added. “Every corner of Delhi is falling prey to crime at an alarming rate, leaving individuals feeling unsafe. Women no longer feel secure, and a sense of fear has gripped the trading community. Numerous incidents are being reported where anyone stepping out is at risk of being killed,” Rai said. He also voiced his concerns about the increasing dominance of gangsters in Delhi, stating that it has sparked questions not only in the Assembly but also among the city’s residents: What should they do? “The Delhi government lacks the necessary powers. Meanwhile, the Union Home Minister remains silent on the issue and refuses to speak up,” the Minister said. “The BJP appears to believe this is not a matter of concern. With the rising incidents of murders and attacks on people in Delhi, if this isn’t an issue for BJP leaders, then where should the people of Delhi turn?” he said, further accusing the BJP of avoiding accountability despite raising these issues in the Assembly for the past two years. “Who will take responsibility for the murders happening in the city? Why is the BJP not addressing this?” he questioned. Senior AAP leader and MLA Kuldeep Kumar described the law and order situation in Delhi as a deeply distressing matter. “Our mothers and sisters feel unsafe. Open any newspaper in Delhi today, and you’ll hear about incidents like someone being murdered, a person being stabbed to death in Naraina, a trader being shot at in his shop, traders being threatened and intimidated, elderly people being killed, and women being raped,” he said. “Amit Shah remains silent on Delhi’s law and order. He doesn’t want to talk about it. We want to ask him: Amit Shah, give an answer. Why are you unable to ensure a safe environment for our daughters and mothers today? The people of Delhi entrusted you with this responsibility, and you have failed to fulfill it,” Kumar alleged. Senior AAP leader and Tilak Nagar MLA Jarnail Singh also criticized the worsening law and order situation in Delhi. “In Delhi, extortion demands are being made by firing bullets and carrying out shootouts in broad daylight. Murders and knife attacks are happening openly every day. Incidents of chain snatching, scooty theft, car theft, and robberies in homes have become very common,” he said. “Major crimes and serious incidents are occurring in Delhi every single day and the BJP-led central government and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has completely failed to ensure safety for Delhiites. The law and order situation in Delhi has completely collapsed, and Amit Shah must answer for this,” Singh added. Senior AAP leader and Wazirpur MLA, Rajesh Gupta, echoed similar concerns stating, “Today there is an atmosphere of fear in Delhi. Every day, we see new gangsters emerging. People are proudly forming their own groups, openly threatening others, demanding ransom, committing atrocities, and in such a situation, the Union Home Minister is not giving any statement at all...////...
