Jung, Centre made Delhi world's crime capital: AAP

August 31, 2016 19:19

Aam Aadmi Party accused Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and the Centre of "crippling" its government in Delhi and relegating the city into the "crime capital" of the world with their "abject failure" in the law and order front.

AAP said the data released by the National Crime Records Bureau, which puts the number of rape cases in Delhi at 2,199 last year - highest among the union territories - only "vindicates" the party's stand.

AAP's Delhi Convener Dilip Pandey also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought to know whether he was ready to accept the responsibility for Delhi police's "dismal performance".

"Does the prime minister sleep peacefully at night despite this scary situation? Has 'latsaheb' Jung undertaken any surprise inspection of police stations till date? Have they met any victim of sexual violence till date?" Pandey asked.

Jung and the Centre have made Delhi the crime capital of the world, he alleged.
