"Should Home Minister Sit In Police Station?" BJP Slams Opposition Over Delhi Clashes

The opposition's allegations of the home ministry's complicity in the inaction of the Delhi Police during the four-day violence in northeast Delhi were taken on by the BJP's Meenakshi Lekhi. Putting up a spirited fight in the Lok Sabha as the long-pending discussion on the Delhi violence started, Ms Lekhi said, "Some judges think police shouldn't act until protests turn violent". Under the circumstances, it is difficult to gauge when a peaceful protest will turn violent, she said.
