Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of getting the police to set buses on fire during a protest in south Delhi against the amended Citizenship Act as part of its "dirty politics".
Delhi witnessed violence this evening over the new citizenship law as a protest march by the students of Jamia Millia Islamia ended in a pitched battle with the police. Three buses and several two wheelers were set ablaze, a fire tender was vandalized and two firemen were injured.
