NEW DELHI: Countering Congress president Sonia Gandhi ’s demand that home minister Amit Shah resign over the rioting in North-East Delhi, information and broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar said the comments are “condemnable and most unfortunate” and rejected the call for Shah quitting.Javadekar said Congress’s claims of neglect were far from truth as violence was contained to a particular area due to prompt action taken by Shah, who was continuously monitoring the situation with security measures ensuring that arson did not spread to other parts.The minister said Shah was proactive in handling the situation and asked about Rahul Gandhi ’s whereabouts, saying “Where is Baba?” The BJP member reminded Congress that unlike the massacre of over 3,000 Sikhs in 1984, which was fanned by Congress leaders as violence continued for three days, Shah held meetings, encouraged cops and held an all-party meeting attended by Congress members as well.He said Congress had a habit of politicising serious and sensitive issues instead of contributing to peace efforts. Javadekar said Wednesday is the first Balakot strike anniversary, which had also been questioned by Congress and the opposition party had similarly doubted surgical strikes against terror camps in PoK.Also reacting to the Delhi situation, law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “Tension in Delhi should end. Many people are spreading violence here. At a time when Delhi is returning to peace, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s remark is untimely. When peace is required then there should be no politics.”Asked about alleged police inaction, the minister said be it political parties or people, one should wait for the police probe and truth to come out. "We believe that police investigation will reveal the truth about who arranged the stones, who opened fire, who put vehicles ablaze and who have been instigating people for the last two months,” Javadekar said in apparent reference to the Shaheen Bagh blockade.Saying that the demand for Shah’s resignation is “laughable”, Javadekar brought back the the issue of 1984 anti-Sikh riots as he alleged Congress has much to answer. “Those whose hands are drenched with blood in massacre of Sikhs are talking of success or failure in stopping violence," he said.Javadekar said, "Congress is asking where was Amit Shah? He took a meeting of all the parties yesterday, in which the leaders of the AAP as well as the Congress were present." The BJP member added that such comments by the Congress leadership will only deteriorate the morale of the police force.
