BJP and its NDA allies on Wednesday demanded a detailed inquiry into the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests, saying opposition members understood the amended law but were “continuously misleading people” and it created an atmosphere leading to riots in Delhi. They also alleged that stones and petrol bombs were stored in huge quantities to fuel the violence as part of a pre-planned conspiracy.“Some international powers have succeeded in creating many ‘freelancers of chaos’ in India who are constantly working for their sponsors against the interest of the country,” BJP MP from Delhi Meenakshi Lekhi said while participating in a debate on the Delhi riots in LS. Referring to a book, ‘The New Delhi Conspiracy’, co-authored by her, Lekhi said she did not know that the fiction was going to be true and what was happening in current politics was a true enactment. Calling opposition from different fields as “merchants of chaos”, she said she did not have any doubt that these people were working against the interest of India as part of a “sinister plot”.Referring to the killing of IB staffer Ankit Sharma during the riots, she said 400 wounds were found on his body. “What kind of hatred was this... we should discuss that also,” she said, adding the riots were pre-planned.She alleged that stones and catapults were found in the house of an AAP councillor and hate speeches were given by an MLA of the party. “Every tenth home had catapults, which were used in the riots,” she added.Lekhi alleged that people started gathering at Shaheen Bagh after the speech of Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi at Ramlila Maidan. Similar speeches were given by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi as well, she said, asking why the opposition was spreading rumours and “continuously misleading people”.Referring to the opposition’s charges of sudden transfer of Justice S Muralidhar from Delhi HC to Punjab and Haryana HC as he had admonished the Centre and the Delhi Police over riots, Lekhi said, “They (opposition members) don’t know that the government doesn’t transfer without recommendation (of SC collegium).” She added, “I would like to say that the reports of IB on some people should be made public. It will make clear to all as to who had been transferred and why.”
