The Aam Aadmi Party Monday demanded from Union Home Minister Amit Shah to hold a meeting on law and order situation in the national capital, raising questions over the safety of common men here.
AAP senior leader Gopal Rai demanded the meeting in the wake of firings at the vehicle of a TV news channel crew by two bike-borne men at Barapullah flyover Sunday.
"The home minister should hold a meeting on the law and order situation in the national capital. If journalists are not safe in the country, what will happen to the safety of the common men living in the capital," said Rai, hitting out at the Centre over the law and order situation in New Delhi.
"We demand that the accused in the case be arrested immediately," he said.
"The BJP which has formed the government for the second time should ensure that the law and order situation in Delhi is improved," he added.
