Trilokpuri violence : debar entry of former BJP MLA into the area

The Aam Aadmi Party demands that former BJP MLA Sunil Kumar Vaid should not be allowed to spread any further communal tension in Trilokpuri area of East Delhi and Delhi Police should immediately debar his entry in the troubled area.

AAP teams on the ground in Trilokpuri have informed that Police presence in large numbers is helping in keeping the situation peaceful, but tension still remains, and poor people are struggling for essential commodities.

Trilokpuri MLA Raju Dhingan has submitted a report about the ground situation to top Police officials, and the party hopes it will be acted upon without any delay.

The AAP appeals to the people not to allow anyone in their neighbourhood and anybody known to them to store stones and other dangerous items, which can lead to further trouble.

The party is planning a peace march in the area with the help of people of all religious communities to restore a sense of peace and mutual confidence in the area which has largely remained peaceful over the years.

The AAP is of the clear view that communal violence in Trilokpuri was a result of a pre-planned conspiracy in which former BJP MLA Vaid’s role needs to be thoroughly and impartially investigated.

A meeting called by him on Diwali night has been described by local residents as the trigger for the entire incident and the Police should book him for instigating a communal riot and spreading rumours with the intention of creating panic in the area.

The AAP also demands that Delhi administration should start distribution of essential commodities in troubled areas since their prices have skyrocketed due to non-availability and cases of hoarding are also being reported.
