BJP MP should be asked if this government is likely to go? This makes it look if there is silent support? You have Home Ministry and Delhi Police. Delhi is under him and if there are some unwanted elements, then arrest them," he told ANI.

Referring to the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Congress leader said that it is the youth who are protesting against it while reminding that people from 29 universities are connected to it.
