नई दिल्ली, 26 फरवरी ।कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी ने कहा कि दिल्ली में हो रह घोर हिंसा, जानमाल के नुकसान व हर रोज बिगड़ती स्थिति पर गंभीर चिंता व्यक्त करते हए आज कांग्रेस कार्यसमिति की एक आपातकाल बैठक हुई
पिछले इतवार से हो रहे लगातार दर्दनाक हादसों के पीछे एक सोचा समझा षडयंत्र है। इस साजिश को देश ने दिल्ली के चुनाव के दौरान भी देखा। भारत य जनता पार्टी के अनेक नेताओं ने भड़काऊ भाषण देकर डर तथा नफरत का माहौल फैलाया। एक ऐसा बयान, एक भाजपा नेता के द्वारा पिछले इतवार को भी दिया गया, जब उसने दिल्ली पुलिस को तीन दिन का अल्टीमेटम देते हुए कहा कि, ‘तीन दिन बीतने के बाद हमें कुछ नहीं कहना' । पिछले 72 घंटो में केंद्र व दिल्ली सरकार द्वारा जानबूझकर कुछ कार्यवाही न करने के कारण 20 से अधिक जिंदगियां जा चुकी हैं, दिल्ली पुलिस के एक हेड कॉन्स्टेबल की जान गई है और एक पत्रकार सहित सैकड़ों व्यक्ति अस्पतालों में गंभीर चोटों के साथ भर्ती हैं। उत्तर पूर्वी दिल्ली में चारों ओर हिंसा फैल है। कांग्रेस कार्यसमिति सब परिवारों के साथ अपन गहरी संवेदना व्यक्त करत है, जिन्होंने अपने परिवार के प्रियजनों, सदस्यों को खोया है और कामना करत है कि सब घायल जल्द से जल्द ठीक होंपूर स्थिति को देखते हुए कांग्रेस कार्यसमिति का मानना है कि दिल्ली में मौजूदा स्थिति के लिए केंद्र सरकार, खासतौर से गृहमंत्री जिम्मेदार हैं। फौरन तौर से जिम्मेदार लेते हुए गृहमंत्री को अपना इस्तफा देना चाहिए दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री व दिल्ली सरकार भी शांति और सद्भाव बनाए रखने में पूर तरह से विफल तथा जिम्मेदार है। दोनों सरकारों की जिम्मेदार निभाने में विफलता के कारण देश की राजधानी इस त्रासद का शिकार बन है। कांग्रेस कार्यसमिति देश की ओर से ये सवाल पूछत है:
1. पिछले इतवार से देश के गृहमंत्र कहां थे और वो क्या कर रहे थे? 2. पिछले इतवार से दिल्ल के मुख्यमंत्र कहां थे और क्या कर रहे थे? 3. दिल्ल चुनाव के बाद इंटेलिजेंस एजेंस ज़ के द्वारा क्या जानकार द गई और उन पर क्या कार्यवाह हुई? 4. इतवार की रात से कितन पुलिस फोर्स दंगों वाले इलाके में लगाई गई, जब यह साफ था, बिल्कुल साफ था कि दंगे और ज्यादा फैलने वाले हैं? 5. जब दिल्ल में हालात बेकाबू हो गए थे और पुलिस का कंट्रोल नहीं बचा था, तो ऐसे में और central paramilitary forces क्यों नहीं बुलाई गई?
Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi said- The Congress Working Committee (CWC) believes that the situation is grave and it requires urgent action. Adequate security forces must be deployed immediately to bring the situation under control. Peace Committees must be formed in every ‘Mohalla' consisting of members of all communities to ensure that there are no untoward incidents. Senior civil servants must be deployed in each district to take charge of the administration to ensure that the administrative machinery responds to the evolving situation. The Chief Minister of Delhi must be visible in the affected areas and in constant communication with the people. The CWC appeals to the people of Delhi to reject the politics of hate and do their best in healing the rifts caused by these shameful events, to help rebuild all that has been lost and to ensure that such events do not take place ever again. The CWC calls upon all Congress workers and leaders to visit the affected areas, to extend all possible support to the families of those who have suffered as a consequence of the violence and to help build bridges between communities. This would be the most fitting tribute to Mother India. On a question regarding Congress Party's earlier plan to march and petition the President of India, Shri Randeep Singh Surjewala said, the Congress Party was to hold a march and give a memorandum to the President of India today. The Hon'ble President of India communicated to the Leader of Opposition Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad that he is unavailable today and has given us time for tomorrow. Upholding the respect for his high office, we have deferred the march and we shall now be giving a memorandum on the grim situation in Delhi and loss of lives tomorrow. On two questions that there is a deafening silence from the President of India, Vice President of India, Prime Minister and the Delhi Chief Minister on Delhi riots, Would the Congress Party like to comment on that and why the CWC is keeping quiet on Army not deployed as the people have lost faith in the Delhi Police, Smt. Sonia Gandhi said- in our resolution, we have precisely mentioned about the need to deploy paramilitary forces, (on a further question) the first step is para military. On a question about deafening silence from the top leadership, Smt. Gandhi said- I think I feel that is rather shocking. Yes, it was expected of the top leadership of both the Central Government and Delhi Government to speak up. Though I have seen on social media some comments, but formally nobody has come out with a positive message. On the question that does the Congress Party feel that the All Party meeting should have been called by the PM, Smt. Sonia Gandhi said- in the past even during Vajpayee Government, in those days, I used to be the LoP (Leader of Parliamentary Party). Vajpayee Ji, whenever there was a crisis of any kind whether in Kashmir or any other part of the country, the first thing he used to do and he used to himself call all leaders – all party leaders - and he himself on many occasions actually took those meetings, but, unfortunately and sadly, we have to say that ever since the Modi Government has come in, since 2014, as far as I know, no such meeting has ever been called. The only one was recently when the Home Minister just now called a meeting and I think he called only the Delhi representatives, not an all party meeting. It is a sad fact but it is the truth. On the question that the BJP is on record saying that this is a well thought off conspiracy and a coordinated violence and the insinuation is that the opposition is also responsible, Shri Randeep Singh Surjewala said- I think BJP needs to first settle the dichotomy between the statements of the Minister for Home Affairs as also the Minister of State for Home. MoS Home says it is a concerted conspiracy and the Minister for Home Affairs says that No! It is a spontaneous riot. So let them first settle and come out with a clear stand. On the question that more violence may erupt in the national capital as well as in other areas like Gujarat, Smt. Sonia Gandhi said that is why in our resolution, we have spelt out what we think needs to be done in order to quell the problem here, because, Yes! It is true that we fear that it may spread to other parts. We have clearly, in our resolution, which I am sure you will be given - we have clearly spelt out what we feel needs to be done.
