New Delhi: AAP Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Sunday claimed that there is an atmosphere of panic in Delhi, questioning the role and priorities of Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena amidst rising law and order concerns. He also announced that AAP leaders, including himself and MLA Durgesh Pathak, will meet the LG on Monday to demand immediate action on the city’s deteriorating law and order situation. Bharadwaj and Pathak visited the Naraina showroom on Sunday, where a recent firing incident had taken place.
He claimed that there is a growing fear among residents and business owners due to these incidents. “This is the main road area of Naraina, and such areas are at their busiest for business around 7:15 in the evening. At such a time, gangsters stormed into a showroom with weapons and fired 24 rounds.
A gun was placed on the head of the person inside,” Bharadwaj said during his visit. “Tomorrow, we will meet the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi and present our demand, stating that this kind of hooliganism cannot continue,” he added. Pathak criticised alleged inaction by the police despite complaints filed by traders and pointed out that the showroom is only a few kilometers away from the prime minister’s residence.
“This is the main road of Naraina, which connects West Delhi and New Delhi. The prime minister’s residence is just about four kilometers away, and in the evening, this area sees a lot of foot traffic. Yet, 24 rounds were fired one after another at this sho.
