Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi, who briefed Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on the law and order situation in the national capital ahead of his scheduled meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, said he takes criticism in positive sense.

Bassi described his meeting with the Lieutenant Governor to be a weekly affair aimed at chalking out the strategy for making the national capital a safe place for public.

"It was a weekly meeting where we discussed Delhi's law and order scenario and strategies to make Delhi safer for the public. We always try how we can make policing better for the people of Delhi," Bassi told the media here.

"I don't think we have been attacked by any party for our work. I take criticism in positive sense.If anybody criticizes me, even if it is wrong then I don't object to it. If we know we are working according to the law then no criticism or attack on our character affects us," he added.

Bassi would also be meeting Kejriwal later today in the wake of the gruesome murder of a 19-year-old girl at Anand Parbat.

Kejriwal had yesterday while expressing shock over the incident said that the law and order situation in the national capital has deteriorated drastically in the recent past.

"Delhi Police is under the Centre. The Prime Minister should either act or transfer Delhi Police's command to the Delhi Government," he said.

Kejriwal has been demanding that the charge of the Delhi Police be handed over to the Aam Aadmi Party Government.

"I appeal with folded hands to PM Modi either take out 1 hour for law and order or give Delhi Police to us," the AAP's Twitter handle had earlier quoted Kejriwal as saying.
