Give us Delhi Police: CM Arvind Kejriwal tells PM Modi on Facebook

NEW DELHI: CM Arvind Kejriwal on Monday took to the social media to express his concern over the law and order situation in the city. In a video message, Kejriwal was heard making an appeal to PM Narendra Modi either to spare one day a week for Delhi as the city police come under the purview of the Centre or hand over the police force to the state government.

The video clip appeared on the Facebook pages of AAP and the CM. With a melancholic music playing in the backdrop, the video shows a candle gleaming in the dark. Kejriwal's voice is heard as he narrates the story of Minakshi who was stabbed to death and how everyone in her neighbourhood is living in fear since the incident happened. He highlights how the 19-year-old girl was brutally murdered in Anand Parbat in full public view.

Newspaper clippings of the murder emerge and disappear in the clip while the candle stays there as a reminder of the struggle that lies ahead.

Kejriwal makes the point that law and order situation is deteriorating in Delhi and women in particular are feeling more and more insecure. He refers to the PM as "sir" and says, "As PM you have to take care of the whole nation sir, either you take out some time for Delhi or give police to us. With the support of people of Delhi, we will turnaround the law and order situation," Kejriwal says.
