New Delhi, March 01, 2020: Days after the Delhi High Court frowned upon a speech made by him in Northeast Delhi, seen as one of the triggers for the riots that left 42 dead, BJP leader Kapil Mishra took out a march metres from the Capital’s VIP areas on Saturday where calls were made to shoot traitors.

Mishra’s ‘peace march’, including roughly 1,200 people, began from Jantar Mantar and proceeded to make its way to Connaught Place and Janpath, without police permission, amid slogans of ‘Kisi ko mat maaf karo, jihaadiyon ko saaf karo (Don’t spare anyone, wipe out jihadis)’ and ‘Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maaro saalon ko’. It was flanked by security personnel.

With Mishra were people who claimed to have received injuries in the Delhi riots, in Bhajanpura, Shiv Vihar, Karawal Nagar and New Mustafabad areas, with bandages on their faces. A mini-truck accompanied them, with a flexboard carrying photos of Head Constable Ratan Lal, Intelligence Bureau staffer Ankit Sharma and Vinod Kashyap, who were among those killed in the riots. Slogans were also raised of ‘Modi ke samman mein, deshbhakt maidan mein (The patriots are in the field in support of Modi)’ and ‘Ankit Sharma ka yeh balidan, yaad rakhhega Hindustan (The country will remember Ankit Sharma’s sacrifice)’.

An NGO called the Delhi Peace Forum was the organiser of the procession.

Mishra, who did not address the protesters, told The Sunday Express, “The march was against ‘jihadi violence’ and for the people who have suffered losses.”

It started around 11 am from Jantar Mantar, where chairs and a sound system had been set up. Participants carried the Tricolour as well as placards of ‘Shanti March’ and other slogans, as well as photos of B R Ambedkar.

DCP (New Delhi) Eish Singhal said the procession did not have permission to march towards Connaught Place and Janpath, but added, “No one was detained as it was a peaceful march. No complaint has been received against any kind of slogans raised at the march, so no FIR has been registered.”

Men shouting "desh ke gaddaaron ko, goli maaron saaron ki" in broad daylight, in the middle of Delhi, at Rajiv Chowk metro station, earlier this morning. This is how Hindu terror is normalised. Please amplify. Everyone should know the dangerous direction this country is taking.
