No One Involved In Delhi Riots Will Be Spared: Home Minister Amit Shah In Lok Sabha

Home Minister Amit Shah said on Wednesday vowed not to spare anyone involved in the Delhi riots irrespective of their religion, caste or party affiliation. Replying to a debate on the Delhi riots in the Lok Sabha, Shah said it will be lesson for the country on what befalls those who indulge in rioting. Shah said prima facie the violence appears to be a pre-planned conspiracy.

Facing opposition criticism over alleged inaction by the Delhi police during the violence last month, Shah appreciated the police for not allowing the riots to spiral. While expressing grief over the death of people in the violence, Shah said the Delhi police succeeded in controlling riots within 36 hours. He said that a total of 2,647 people have been detained or arrested.
