Union Home Minister Amit Shah attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of integrated development of East Delhi Hub on December 26. Addressing the gathering during the event, Shah said that people of Delhi should punish the "tukde tukde gang" which is "responsible" for violence in Delhi. He said, "When Citizenship Amendment Act was being discussed in Parliament, nobody was willing to discuss it. They were discussing irrelevant things. Once they stepped out of Parliament, they started spreading confusion and disturbed Delhi."

Shah took jibe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi started a culture (to complete the project in the given period of time). However, CM Kejriwal does new things. He did a new beginning, why think, why give budget, only put your stamp on others work."
