Alleging “deliberate attempts” by the BJP to disrupt communal harmony and peace in different parts of Delhi recently, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has directed former MLAs and Vidhan Sabha convenors in all 70 Assembly segments to form all-religion peace committees.
AAP’s national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also appealed to prominent personalities and all the citizens of Delhi to actively participate in these efforts.
“The AAP is of the firm view that there is a deliberate pattern to arouse communal passions in the recent incidents witnessed in Trilokpuri, Bawana, Mundka and Okhla,” Kejriwal said in a statement.
He said AAP had directed its members in all 70 Assembly constituencies to peacefully but firmly oppose such “wrong practices” as also take proactive steps to contact well-known people from all religions and form harmony committees.
“The message has to be taken to the people that those spreading hatred and trying to instigate riots can neither be called Hindus nor Muslims. Such elements are enemies of humanity and are devils,” said Kejriwal.
