All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi reached Jahangirpuri , where the North Delhi Municipal Corporation embarked on an anti-encroachment demolition drive days after the neighbourhood witnessed communal clashes on Hanuman Jayanthi .
Mr Owaisi reached Jahangirpuri later in the evening on Wednesday and made his way into the neighbourhood. It is here that the family of Md Ansar , an accused in the riots case, and others met him. He implied that the accused were being dealt with on account of their identity.
“Whether Ansar works for the BJP or AAP does not matter. He remains Ansar . That is why he has been arrested. Secondly, why this is happening in a more aggressive way is because the so-called secular parties, the Congress, AAP (Aam Aadmi Party), TMC and NCP are indulging in competitive Hindutva ,” Mr Owaisi said, even as said that the AAP , which runs the PWD , should have refused to comply.
