National Security Advisor NSA Ajit Doval today told a TV channel that there no need to fear as enough forces are on ground to control the situation in Northeast Delhi.
“Enough forces on ground, no one needs to fear”, NSA Ajit Doval told NDTV on Delhi violence.
The clashes have killed 20 and leftover 150 injured. Mr Doval, who visited areas affected by the violence late last night, said “no law-abiding citizen would be harmed anyway by anyone”.
“People were doubting the capabilities and intentions of the Delhi Police. This needs to addressed. People need to trust the man in uniform,” Mr Doval said.
Delhi Police has been heavily criticised for apparent inaction when the violence unfolded and for deploying inadequate forces on the ground.
Mr Doval visited violence-hit northeast Delhi areas such as Seelampur, Jaffrabad, Maujpur and Gokulpuri Chowk to take stock of the law and order situation and met with top police officers.
The Cabinet Committee on Security – the final decision-making body on matters related to the country’s security – is meeting to discuss the violence in the capital. Mr Doval will brief the committee of the situation in the capital.
