The shooting at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, the prime area of the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, has led to a war of words between the capital’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP. Blaming each other for the incident, AAP says BJP is responsible as the Delhi Police is under the control of the Centre, and BJP blames Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal saying he has links with Pakistan.
Hours after 25-year-old Kapil Gujjar opened fire standing near police barricades at the south Delhi locality, Kejriwal took on Union Home Minister Amit Shah in a tweet.

“Amit Shah ji, what have you done to our Delhi? There’s shooting in broad daylight. The law and order has gone for a toss. Elections will come and go, politics will continue, but for the sake of the people of Delhi, please focus on law and order,” his tweet in Hindi read.

The response came, not from Amit Shah but Yogi Adityanath, who is one of the key campaigners of the BJP for the Delhi assembly elections slated for February 8.

“Enemies of India, who speak the language of Pakistan, are creating disorder by protesting everywhere. Protests against CAA and a Pakistani minister releasing a statement in favour of Kejriwal, it all looks linked,” Yogi Adityanath said at an public meeting in Delhi.
However, while BJP targeted Kejriwal saying he has links with Pakistan, Kejriwal showed opposite behaviour slamming Pakistan as they spoke against PM Modi. The CM warned the arch rival saying it shouldn’t interfere in India’s internal matters.

Giving a curt response to Pakistan minister Fawad Hussain, who in a Thursday tweet attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kejriwal, one of the most forceful critics of PM Modi, said Narendra Modi is his PM as well and India won’t tolerate Pakistan’s interference in its internal matters.

“Narendra Modi is India’s Prime Minister. He is my Prime Minister as well. Delhi Election is India’s internal matter, and we won’t tolerate interference of the supporters of terrorism,” he tweeted in Hindi.

“Pakistan can try as much as they want, but it cannot attack the unity of our country,” he added.

Fawad Hussain had attack PM Modi over his remark made earlier this week that Indian armed forces will not take more than 10 days to defeat Pakistan in an armed conflict.
