18 Feb 2016 Evaluate

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blamed the central government for the violence that took place in the Patiala House Courts complex on two days. Kejriwal told after meeting President Pranab Mukherjee that Delhi Police would not have remained mute spectators during the violence in the court if they were not directed to do so. He said that this means the central government--to which Delhi Police report as their administrative authority--was to blame for what happened in the court on Monday and Wednesday.

The Aam Aadmi Party leader added that the attacks on Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students and journalists by a section of lawyers within the court premises on Monday and Wednesday were a ‘challenge’ to the Supreme Court's authority. Kejriwal further added that Delhi police is a uniformed force. If its master says don't do anything, they won't do anything. If the master tells them to shoot, they will shoot. Their master is central government. This is the dictatorship of the prime minister (Narendra Modi).'

Kejriwal asked ‘We raised these issues with the President. Who will decide who is anti-national?’ He further asked why the police have been unable to arrest those who raised the ‘anti-national slogans’. He said that they cannot catch the boys who shouted slogans, shame on such a police force.
