Kapil Mishra was blamed for Sharjeel Imam's actions. He was held accountable for Amanatullah's statements...for how long will he be held responsible for others' actions? Some people have history of setting things ablaze. I have data which shows who was responsible whenever violence incidents took place in country, said Meenakshi Lekhi
Anurag Thakur & Parvesh Verma were blamed for Delhiviolence. Anurag & Verma made comments on Jan 20 & Jan 28 respectively, while the violence started on Feb 23. Kapil Mishra was held responsible for acts of Amanatullah Khan, Sharjeel Imam&Tahir Hussain, said Lekhi
They talked of 1984 riots, I would like to tell them that they've forgotten that some accused are today on the position of CM. The violence (Delhi Violence) was brought under control within 36 hrs which, if you look at in hindsight, was in the making for months, said Lekhi

Lok Sabha on Wednesday took up a discussion on the recent violence in parts of Delhi, with Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury describing it as a defeat of humanity and hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Soon after the suspension of seven Congress members from the House was revoked, Lok Sabha took up the discussion on the "recent law and order situation in some parts of Delhi." Initiating the discussion, Congress leader in Lok Sabha Chowdhury said while some claimed Hindus won, the others said Muslims won in the violence.
"The fact is that humanity was defeated," he said.
He wondered how violence continued for three days despite the fact that Delhi Police is one of the best equipped in the country.
"The Home Minister (Amit Shah) will have to explain," he said.
Hitting out at the prime minister, he said, Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
He claimed that when Delhi was witnessing violence, Modi was hosting US President Donald Trump in Ahmedabad.
