While expressing concern over the incidents of riots and the loss of property and lives as a consequence of riots and arson Party’s Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said, “It is heart wrenching to see so many precious lives being devoured in the violence. The incident of loot, arson and killings are distressing. Here what has come out as shock is that Delhi police has so far been complicit to contain the riots,” adding, “GOI must take urgent measures to control the frenzy, and extra forces should be deployed to protect the property and lives of people. Peace committees should be constituted in every district especially in the areas benighted by the communal riots. I on behalf my party express solidarity with the families who have lost their loved ones in the frenzy, the GOI is duty bound to bridge the rift, rebuild, and console the distressed.”
Imran said at a time when it is required having government pacify the masses they are more interested in shifting the blame. “It is expected of government to speak up and help assuage the situation. So far no one from the government has come out with positive messages. This is not the time for blame game instead everybody irrespective of the party affiliations must appeal for peace,” he said.

The injured should be given best of medical aid. I pray for early return of peace and tranquility to the turbulence hit areas.
