Amit Shah ji should come and answer the people of Delhi.” दिल्ली वालों ने दिल्ली में कानून व्यवस्था की इतनी बुरी हालत पहले कभी नहीं देखी थी। अमित शाह जी को आकर दिल्ली वालों को जवाब देना चाहिए। — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 9, 2024 This isn’t the first time Delhi has faced such incidents.
