Civil rights activists meet Kejriwal, Sisodia; discuss ongoing violence

A delegation of civil rights activists met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing violence in northeast Delhi.

The delegation included All India Progressive Women's Association secretary Kavita Krishnan, senior advocate Vrinda Grover, activists Ayesha Kidwai, Farah Naqvi, Pratiksha Baxi and Maya John.

Krishnan said they put forward some of the suggestions, including making of a nodal peace committee and elected representatives urging people to protect the peace and protect vulnerable minorities in these areas.

"They said it would take some work but they were not negative towards the suggestion," she told PTI. "We said there are many SOS calls coming and there needs to be better coordination, and we agreed to have a better structure in place but that is not very concrete yet."
