Blaming BJP's incendiary remarks during the Delhi poll campaign, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on Thursday, said that the shooting outside Jamia Millia Islamia University was a result of that. Questioning PM Modi on his stance on the issue, she asked the Prime Minister did he side with violence or non-violence. The AAP too had made similar claims, alleging that the BJP was trying to postpone the Delhi elections scheduled on February 8.
Priyanka Gandhi slams BJP
जब भाजपा सरकार के मंत्री और नेता लोगों को गोली मारने के लिए उकसाएँगे, भड़काऊ भाषण देंगे तब ये सब होना मुमकिन है। प्रधानमंत्री को जवाब देना चाहिए कि वे कैसी दिल्ली बनाना चाहते हैं?

Shah: 'Culprit won't be spared'
Taking strict action against the gunman who shot at anti-CAA protestors outside Jamia Millia University in Delhi, Home Minister Amit Shah stated that he has spoken to Delhi Police Commissioner on the issue. He reaffirmed that the Centre will not tolerate such an incident and that the shooter will not be spared. Shah had held a rally at Delhi's Chhatarpur ahead of the Delhi polls on February 8.
आज दिल्ली में जो गोली चलाने की घटना हुयी है उसपर मैंने दिल्ली पुलिस कमिश्नर से बात की है और उन्हें कठोर से कठोर कार्यवाही करने के निर्देश दिए हैं।
— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) January 30, 2020
केंद्र सरकार इस तरह की किसी भी घटना को बर्दाश्त नहीं करेगी, इसपर गंभीरता से कार्यवाही की जाएगी और दोषी को बख्शा नहीं जायेगा।
Jamia violence
Earlier in the day, a gun-toting man - identifying himself as Gopal, was arrested by the Delhi police outside the Jamia Millia Islamia university in the national capital after he injured a student when he opened fire on protestors. Shadab, a Mass Communications student of Jamia suffered an injury in his left hand and was admitted to the Holy Family hospital. As per sources, the attacker shouted, "who wants Azadi, come I'll shoot you” and thereafter, opened fire. Currently, a large number of protestors are at the site, condemning the attack and attempting to continue their protest march to Rajghat, by scaling barricades.
