Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has strongly criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the deteriorating law and order situation in the capital, particularly following bomb threats received by multiple schools in Delhi. The bomb threats, which raised concerns for the safety of students and staff, prompted a widespread security alert, leading to the closure of some schools and evacuation of students.
In a series of tweets, Kejriwal expressed his dismay over the inability of the authorities to ensure security and peace in the national capital. He took to social media to question the effectiveness of the central government’s handling of law and order, particularly in light of the bomb threats that have created fear and panic among residents, especially parents of schoolchildren.
"Delhi has become unsafe for its residents, and the recent bomb threats to schools highlight the severe law and order issues in the city," Kejriwal said. He further urged Amit Shah and the central government to take immediate action to ensure the safety of students and restore public confidence in the security agencies.
The bomb threats, which were made via anonymous emails, have raised serious questions about the preparedness of law enforcement agencies in Delhi. While the police have initiated investigations, Kejriwal's remarks underline a growing frustration with the state of security in the city, where incidents like these have started to become more frequent.
The threats came at a time when Delhi was already grappling with concerns about increasing crime rates and the adequacy of law enforcement agencies. Kejriwal's statements are likely to fuel ongoing debates about the role of the central government and the Delhi Police in maintaining law and order in the national capital.
As authorities continue to investigate the bomb threats, the focus has now shifted to strengthening security measures in schools and public spaces across Delhi. The situation has also sparked broader discussions about the governance of Delhi, with opposition parties calling for urgent reforms in the city’s law enforcement framework.
