Delhi violence | Amit Shah lauds police for controlling riots

The Hindu  

Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday lauded the Delhi Police for “controlling the Delhi riots within 36 hours” and informed the Lok Sabha that the Centre plans to attach the properties of all those who indulged in arson and rioting. Calling it a well-planned conspiracy, Mr. Shah in his reply to the debate on Delhi riots in the Lok Sabha said the government would take such strict actions against the rioters in Delhi “that they would serve as a lesson for future.” None will be spared, irrespective of religion, caste or party affiliation, he said. Recalling former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s statement, “when a big tree falls the earth beneath shakes,” the Home Minister attacked the Congress over the anti-Sikh riots and claimed that 76 per cent of the riot-related deaths had taken place under the Congress watch. Giving details of the action taken by the police, the Home Minister said that 700 First Information Reports had so far been registered, 2,647 people arrested and 1,100 people identified as those involved in riots with the help of a special face recognition software.
