Not a single incident post 2300 hours on 25.2.2020. We said discussion after Holi, so that no flare up again. and let police carry out investigation so that facts can emerge. So that peace remains in Delhi: Home Minister @AmitShah in Lok Sabha. Therefore sought discussion on 11th
In Lok Sabha @AmitShah seeks `protection' (संरक्षण) of Speaker @ombirlakota to be able to make his statement. Shah praises @DelhiPolice for handling riots in an area where population is 20 lakh. Population of #Delhi 1.70 crore. Police kept riots restricted to 12 police stn areas.
Violence in Delhi remained restricted to 36 hours. 1400 hours on 24th Feb to 2300 hours on 25th Feb. @DelhiPolice did not let violence spread beyond 12 police station areas (in parts of east Delhi): @AmitShah in Lok Sabha clarifies he did not go to #TajMahal w/ @realDonaldTrump.
`I requested #AjitDoval, National Security Advisor (#NSA) to go to Ground Zero & boost morale of @DelhiPolice. @AmitShah says he did not go personally to ensure police attention not diverted to secure him.' (61 Sq Km area - very densely populated, narrow lanes, mixed population)
Big revelation by Home minister @AmitShah in Lok Sabha. 300 plus people came from outside (UP) ahead of violence. They have been identified. Says violence in Delhi was a `deep conspiracy.' Uproar in Lok Sabha. Opposition (Congress) MPs staging a walk out & @nitin_gadkari hits out
FACE IDENTIFICATION SOFTWARE being used by @DelhiPolice to identify the rioters. 1,100 plus faces identified. 40 plus police teams formed to arrest the faces identified. 152 weapons recovered: @AmitShah in #LokSabha. Amit Shah reiterates riots were part of a bigger conspiracy.
Those who rioted will be identified and will not be spared: @AmitShah union home minister in #LokSabha. Tells AIMIM MP @asadowaisi not to be worried. No innocent will be victimised. Speaks of `scientific investigation' & insists those responsible for riots will not be spared.
Govt writes to Delhi High Court. To appoint a High Court Justice to form a Claims Commission. Those who indulged in riots-those who burnt properties & cars: their properties should be seized.52 Indians died, will not go into their religion: @AmitShah. Both temples & mosques burnt
Have done full scientific analysis of videos. @DelhiPolice used stones to push back rioters who were targeting the police from all sides. Police did not open fire says @AmitShah. Once again says police controlled situation. Warns harshest possible action against rioters in Delhi.
