Delhi was burning and Modi was playing flute...

This heading has been incurred from the proverb "Rome was burning and Nero was playing flute". This proverb indicates the enarchy situation of a place are a country where law and order have been collapse and people are free to kill one another and they can commit all crimes without being stopped. The situation of a pocket of North East Delhi has been seen by the world a few days ago when two religious groups clashed with each other and went on killings spray for 3 days without the any hindrance resulting in 49 persons have been reporting to be killed. In Delhi the capital of India saw this enarchyic when we have been boasting that our Motherland is very civilized land we have been 'Vishwa Guru' in many areas. It is a shameful thing for us that we allow the situation to be taken ugly shape and let it to be continued. The enarchic situation of a pocket of North East Delhi remaining for 3 days reminds us the bloodshed took place in Gujarat in 2002 when 2500 to 3000 Muslims had been killed by the frenzy mob who had gone on Killing spree without any hindrance as Police machinery remained silent spectators. At that time a particular marks on the houses of Muslims had been put up special mark for identification of houses of muslims on the occassion of attacks. It had been reported in the media at that time that Police had not come to the scenes of crimes on having being asked by the victims for helps. One of the example of Police inaction was the incident of killing of Ahsan Jafri, former Member of Parliament, Congress. Media reported it that police had not turn up the riots scene when the dozen of phone calls had been made to Police for help but it was in vain, resulting in Ahsan Jafri and his family members had been brutally killed by the rioters. It is not irrelevant to say it that Narendra Modi was Chief Minister of Gujarat at that time. In Independence India, the carnage of Muslims on such a large scale was perhaps the first incident which had been severly condemn on International level and many countries had denied visa to Narendra Modi when he had applied for it.               

The Delhi riots have been gotten awkard with the intention of giving free hands to the rioters of a particular section for Killing another section of people. If it had not been planned the police machinery in Delhi had not been stayed away from the riot affected areas were 49 peoples were killed. The question rises why did Delhi Police not take action against rioters for 3 days and not tried to control riots immediately? If Delhi Police was inactive, why the Central government especially Home Ministry had not taken action to curb the riots. It should be mentioned here that Delhi Police is not under the control of Delhi government. It is controlled by the Central government had been remained silent on this issue and thus killings, arsonning and looting of properties had been going on freely. It seems that no government was inexistence for stopping this kind of uncivilized crimes. Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal was helpless with the regard of curbing the riots as Delhi Police is not under his control. It was responsibility of Central government and its two highest office bearers naming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for maintaining peace in Delhi and keeping averted such an ugly incidents taken place in the capital of the country.

Considering the above situation, one can draw conclusion that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah either had not been wanted peace to be maintain in Delhi and same time wanted of being Killed of peoples of a particular section. The attitude of not expressing their intention of curbing the riots in Delhi, reminds us the proverb "Rome was burning and Nero was playing flute".
