Delhi's Jahangirpuri had witnessed violent clashes between two communities during a Hanuman Jayanti procession on April 16.
Indian wrestler and BJP leader Babita Phogat has sparked a row with her recent tweets on Jahangirpuri violence. Taking to Twitter on Tuesday night, Phogat said that Hindu society never riots adding that everyone knows which “society” instigates riots in the country.
“Hindu society never riots. Everyone knows the name of the society which indulges in rioting. Everyone is aware of their identity. Earlier there were Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Tahir Hussain and now Ansar, Salim, Imam Sheikh, Dilshad, Ahid and Aslam,” she tweeted.
हिन्दू समाज कभी भी दंगे नही करता है।

दंगे करने वाले समाज का नाम और समाज की पहचान सभी को है।
तब उमर खालिद, शरजील इमाम, ताहिर हुसैन और
अब अंसार, सलीम, इमाम शेख़, दिलशाद, अहीद
