Aam Aadmi Party has issued the following statement on the issue of defacement of signages of road named after Muslim personalities:
In an appalling development, roads named after Muslim personalities have been defaced by radical elements in the National Capital right under the seat of Central government ruled by the BJP lead coalition. The incident, brushed aside as an act of routine hooliganism by the Delhi Police and its investigators, is a stigma on the social fabric of the Nation’s Capital.
The perpetrators of the crime had the audacity under Modi rule to paste their complete details on the signage boards after defacing them. The right-wing group which dared to do the horrible act undoubtedly draws its power and strength from the BJP led coalition in power.
Ever since BJP came to power at centre, several such acts of radical elements hijacking the law and playing moral police have come to the light. The government at the centre has played a mute spectator to these groups and their acts of violence and have either being not responded or retaliated meekly to these criminal acts.
The Modi government is helping right wing groups in talibanizing the country and the flourishing of such groups are an example of this. It seems that the dream of achhe din marketed by Mr. Modi and his campaign managers also include days when intolerance would be at its height.
The lives and properties of minority and weaker sections of the society are continuously under threat with the Modi government in power.
Aam Aadmi Party demands that these elements be brought to book and law should deal with such groups strictly and as per law. The action against these elements should prove a deterrent for other such radical outfits.
