Delhi Riots Should Have Been Stopped During Earlier Stages and BJP Led Center Should Get Its Share of Blame

I am deeply anguished at the level of violence during recent Delhi Riots. E.g. one of the victims Ankit Sharma had 400 wounds on his body and his body was dumped in a drain. The death toll is very high. Death of so many people, be it Hindus or Muslims, over such a small issue is really bad. 

I support BJP but in case of Delhi riots, as per the available information, I put primary responsibility on "inaction" by Delhi Police. For several weeks, anti CAA protesters were creating trouble at public places but nothing was done. 

Home Minister Amit Shah and the BJP Govt at center do have accountability for Delhi Riots. It does not help to blame AAP, Congress or Owaisi. I am surprised that Shaheen Bagh protests are still on. What are they waiting for? Shift them to a safe place and vacate public place! Hatred was allowed to simmer in society for too long by not stopping the trouble-creaters. In the end, Kapil Mishra and Pro-CAA protesters took to the streets and riots happened. 

Govt, Police, Supreme Court, all were seen as inactive and "soft" on rioters and protesters just because they were Muslims. It was a clear message that they could do anything and won't be punished. 

AAP, Congress, Owaisi and Mullahs kept fueling Muslims sentiments. But no action was taken against them. Rioters had burnt buses and public property in Delhi but not much was done to create fear in them.

In videos Delhi Police is seen running away from rioters. When Shaheen Bagh case went to Supreme Court, the court sent mediators - that was the last point which proved even Court was soft against protesters as they were Muslims. I wish the Supreme Court should not have been such lax at this grave issue and I think SC's lax orders did much more harm. 

I liked it when Sonia Gandhi asked for Amit Shah's resignation. She is old and herself into lot of trouble. But she took courage to challenge the super-powerful Amit Shah. I respect for her courage, even if I don't support her and her party. 

Common people should question Amit Shah, the BJP and the Delhi Police - because if we allow them to avoid accountability, they can do greater mistakes. Playing with lives of common people is not a sport. 

Delhi Riots will remain as a blot on the face of splendid Modi Sarkar. Police, HM and BJP led Center are fully responsible for Delhi Riots because of their "inaction" at the early signs and events leading up to it. And it is sad that even now they have not "woken up".

I can only hope that anyone who saw through the events leading up to Delhi Riots and did nothing despite having the power, gets punished for his 'Karma'.
