Jamia Firing: AAP blames BJP, says it is an attempt to defer Delhi Elections

New Delhi : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has blamed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the firing incident from Jamia Millia Islamic university, claiming that this is a conspiracy to defer the Delhi Elections.

"On the anniversary of Gandhi Ji's death, the BJP has carried out such a nefarious act, fearing loss in Delhi polls, the BJP and Amit Shah have hatched a conspiracy to defer the election, that's why police's hands were tied and they remained silent spectators," AAP MP Sanjay Singh tweeted in Hindi.

"Now it has been proven that since Amit Shah has taken over as the Home Minister, Delhi's law and order situation is getting worse," he added.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also tweeted, "What is happening in Delhi? Delhi's law and order is getting worse. Please take charge of Delhi's law and order".

An armed man, identified as Rambhakt Gopal via Facebook, had appeared with a gun before the protest march near Jamia Nagar. Waving a pistol threateningly at the protesters, he walked down the road shouting "Yeh lo azaadi (here's your freedom)" even as police watched warily from the distance.

When students tried to grab and disarm him, he fired a shot which struck in the arm of a student - Shadaab Farukh.

Massive protest broke out in the area after the incident, forcing police to barricade the area and divert traffic to other routes.

An hour after an armed man open fired at the protesting Jamia students, Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured that the culprit will not be spared.

"I have spoken to the Delhi Police Commissioner on the firing incident that has taken place in Delhi and instructed him to take stringent action against the culprits. The centre will not tolerate any such incident. The matter has been taken seriously, and the culprit will not be spared," he tweeted in Hindi.
