BJP MLA from Loni in Ghaziabad, Nand Kishor Gurjar, denied that he entered Delhi during the riots.
Several purported videos of the 'Virat Hindu Sabha' organised by VHP and other outfits on Sunday have come to the fore including one in which BJP MLA from Loni in Ghaziabad Nand Kishor Gurjar said that he will not desist from killing "jihadis" if they murder any Hindus.
There were some reports that suggested that Mr Gurjar at the event talked about his alleged involvement in the February 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. The MLA, however, denied that he entered Delhi during the riots.
"What have I to do with riots in Delhi? I did not go there. I said at the event that I was ready with 25,000 people at Loni so no riots took place here even as riots happened in Delhi," Mr Gurjar told PTI over phone.
The Sunday event, organised against the killing of a Hindu youth Manish from Sundar Nagari in Northeast Delhi earlier this month, has sparked controversy for alleged hate speeches by participants.
