In the wake of violent protest against the new citizenship law in south Delhi on Sunday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal condemned the incident and said that no one should indulge in violence. “No one shud indulge in violence. Any kind of violence is unacceptable. Protests shud remain peaceful,” Kejriwal tweeted. CM’s reaction came minutes after violence erupted near Jamia Nagar where police used batons and tear gas on anti-Citizenship Act protesters.
As many as four buses were also set on fire in the area, following which Jamia Millia Islamia, Sukhdev Vihar and Ashram metro stations on Magenta and Pink lines were shut in view of the violent protest, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said. “As advised by Delhi Police, entry & exit gates of Sukhdev Vihar and gate no. 3 of Ashram have been closed. Trains will not be halting at Sukhdev Vihar,” the DMRC tweeted. Entry and exit gates of Jamia Millia Islamia, Okhla Vihar and Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh have also been closed with no trains halting at these stations.
