Dynamite News Politics: Difference between Shah's words and actions, says NCP over Delhi violence
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and state cabinet minister Nawab Malik on Thursday said that there is a difference between Union Home Minister Amit Shah's words and actions with regard to the Delhi violence.
Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and state cabinet minister Nawab Malik on Thursday said that there is a difference between Union Home Minister Amit Shah's words and actions with regard to the Delhi violence.
"Amit Shah said people who died in Delhi riots were Indians and not Hindus and Muslims. What he speaks and what he does, there is a difference. Every BJP leader speaks on the floor of the house in a different manner and works in a different way. People have died; temples and mosques have been burnt," Malik told ANI.
"Amit Shah is saying that the situation was controlled in 72 hours. Why was there silence for three days? Why the police did not take any action? He said that he was busy while Trump visited his constituency. The home minister is not for their own constituency but for the country. He said that people came from outside which means that it was pre-planned. It was the Gujarat model. Nobody is convinced with his reply, "he added.
