Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday said some elements were still trying to resort to violence in Delhi.
"Reports are coming that even today attempts are being made to create violence. We will conduct a high-level probe into this to find out who is behind this and place the facts before the people," the minister told reporters.
He said though some miscreants are still trying to foment trouble, Delhi police and the paramilitary forces were taking proper precautions.
He made it clear that the Centre would not tolerate the killings of innocent people, damage to public and private property and attacks on the policemen doing their duty.
He reiterated that the violence in Delhi is pre-planned and aimed at tarnishing the image of India during US President Donald Trump's visit.
Stating that Trump and his family members are in Delhi for the second day, Reddy appealed to all political parties to exercise restraint and avoid the use of provocative language. He said no issue can be solved through violence.
Reddy said the Centre would deal firmly with the rioters. "No matter which community or party is resorting to violence, the Centre will not spare anyone. It will take strong action against all anti-social elements," he said.
The minister alleged that unable to digest BJP's massive victory in the elections and with no issue to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi politically, the detractors were using Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) to spread canard against the government and divide the people along religious lines.
