NEW DELHI – After firing incidents in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh and Jamia area, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Arjun Singh today called the shooters, who opened fire at the protesters “our youngsters” and said they fired in “confusion”.

“The way in which Muslim people have been made to sit in Shaheen Bagh with the protection from the opposition… An incident happened in Jamia which has nothing to do with CAA… Humare kum umar ke bachhe bharamit ho karke goli chalaye hain (our young children fired shots in confusion),”Singh said in Hindi.

A Hindutva supporter Rambakt Gopal Sharma opened fire at the anti-CAA protesters outside the Jamia Millia Islamia University when students were taking out march to Rajghan on 30 January. A few rounds also fired on Sunday night in the third such incident in four days at an anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protest in the capital. Another man fired shots standing near police barricades put up at Shaheen Bagh protest.

The BJP leader drew a parallel between the firing incidents in Delhi and the murder of two right-wing leaders in Uttar Pradesh, while claiming that not enough was being done about the murders.

“Everyone is talking about these firings in which no harm has come. But two big Hindu Mahasabha leaders were killed in Uttar Pradesh and nobody is saying anything over it,” he claimed.

Ranjit Bachchan, chief of Vishwa Hindu Mahasabha, was shot dead by bike-bourne assailants in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
