Reacting to Asaduddin Owaisi's comment on Jahangirpuri violence, BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP from North-West Delhi seat, Hans Raj Hans on April 19, refuted his claims and requested him not to instigate people.

“Don’t politicise every issue. Don’t instigate people. For god's sake, let this country be in peace,” he said. Notably, AIMIM Chief had previously said that the yatra was taken out without permission and weapons like pistols and swords were displayed during the procession.

“Were the cops standing like mute spectators? Provocative slogans were raised during the yatra. Attempts were attempts made to hoist saffron flags in front of mosque. One- sided action is being taken,” Owaisi said.
