Delhi BJP Leaders Meet Amit Shah Hours After Controversial Demolition
NDTV
The Supreme Court will tomorrow hear a petition that flags the worrying trend seen in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and now Delhi, of communal clashes followed by anti-encroachment drives.
Top Delhi BJP leaders met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the Union Home Ministry headquarters in Delhi today, hours after a controversial demolition drive in violence-hit Jahangirpuri that was halted by the Supreme Court.
Amit Shah met with the Delhi leaders for an hour. Those in the meeting were Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta, MP Ramesh Bidhuri, MLA Ram Bir Bidhuri and leader Maninder Singh Sirsa.
The leaders didn't disclose anything on the talks. "It was a routine meeting," said Mr Sirsa.
Adesh Gupta had written to North Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh calling for an anti-encroachment drive in the area where communal clashes erupted on Saturday during a Hanuman Jayanti procession.
