Delhi Violence: Hate Speech Accused Kapil Mishra Takes Part In 'Peace March' At Jantar Mantar

Mishra had tweeted in the morning and requested people to reach Jantar Mantar to participate in the peace march.

New Delhi: As Delhi crawls back to normalcy after massive violence tore across the northeastern region of the national capital, several people including BJP leader Kapil Mishra who is accused of delivering hate speech before the violence erupted, have gathered at Jantar Mantar to hold a peace march. The march was organised the Delhi Peace Forum, an NGO, at Jantar Mantar against the communal violence that claimed 42 lives in northeast Delhi. Slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram', 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' rent the air as hundreds of people gathered at the place carrying the tricolour. BJP leader Kapil Mishra was also present at the march. Mishra had tweeted in the morning and requested people to reach Jantar Mantar to participate in the peace march. Watch here:  On Sunday, Mishra had issued an ultimatum to the Delhi Police to clear the streets of the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protesters. "Giving a three-day ultimatum to Delhi Police to clear the roads in Jaffrabad and Chand Bagh of protesters. Don't try to reason with us after this, because we won't pay heed," Mishra had said in a tweet in Hindi. He had also attached a video with his tweet and wrote, "We will maintain peace until Donald Trump is in India. After that, we refuse to listen to even the police if the roads are not cleared.... we will be forced to hit the streets." The students' union of the Delhi University's School of Social Work on Friday demanded the arrest of BJP leader Kapil Mishra, saying it is "ashamed" of him and the fact that he is an alumnus of the college. Describing Mishra as a "blot" on the history of the DSSW, the students' body said the BJP leader has "tarnished" the department's image with his "provocative acts and communal statements".
