Swaraj said she had spoken to Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde in the evening on the need for convening the meeting to "resolve the situation."

"Please do not resort to violence. That is not the solution. It is our country. This is our problem. We will definitely find a solution," Swaraj posted on microblogging site Twitter.

"My young friends : We appreciate your feelings. Your anger is genuine. But please give us some time," she posted.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha also suggested that Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit should undertake night patrols of the city and visit police stations.

"When I took over as the Chief Minister of Delhi, the law and order situation was very bad. I promised people 'Main raat ko jagoongi taki Delhi wale chain se so saken'.

I used to patrol the city and Police stations whole night. The newspaper headlines changed. Delhi CM should do precisely this," she said. Swaraj was Delhi Chief Minister between October 13 and December three in 1998.
