Manoj Tiwari has called for the punishment of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi violence.

As Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said if an AAP member is guilty in Delhi violence they should be given double the punishment, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said the AAP chief should also be punished.

This comes as a day after AAP corporator Tahir Hussain was booked for alleged involvement in the killing of an Intelligence Bureau staffer.

Manoj Tiwari has said in a tweet, "Double punishment means now Tahir as well as his boss should be punished severely... The accused and plotters of this case should be hanged within the stipulated timeframe. Stabbing an IB officer 400 times with a knife?"

The BJP leader also asked, "How much can religious intolerance make you fall?"

Manoj Tiwari was reacting to Kejriwal's comment that all those who are guilty should be punished, including AAP members.

"Any person who is found guilty should be given stringent punishment. If any Aam Aadmi Party person is found guilty then that person should be given double the punishment. There should be no politics on the issue of national security," Kejriwal said.

Meanwhile, sources have indicated that AAP has suspended councillor Tahir Hussain over his suspected involvement in spreading violence in northeast Delhi over 2 days.

Family members of the slain IB jawan have also alleged that Tahir Hussain's men dragged the 26-year-old out of his house and took him somewhere.

The body of the IB driver was later found lying in a drain in Chand Bagh. AAP councillor Tahir Hussain has been booked over his alleged involvement in the murder.

A total of 38 people have died so far in the Delhi violence that started on Sunday and went on for 3 days till Tuesday night.
