Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra took to Twitter on February 26, to vent his anger against those who have accused him of inciting the ongoing violence in the National Capital.
The Delhi BJP member wrote in Hindi: “Those who did not consider Burhan Wani and Afzal Guru to be terrorists are labelling me so. The kind of people who move the court to get the likes of Yakub Memon, Umar Khalid, and Sharjeel Imam released are the ones who are demanding my arrest. Jai Shri Ram.”
जिन्होंने कभी बुरहान वानी और अफ़ज़ल गुरु तक को आतंकवादी नहीं मानावो कपिल मिश्रा को आतंकवादी बता रहे हैं
जो याकूब मेनन , उमर खालिद और शरजील इस्लाम को रिहा करवाने कोर्ट जाते हैं
वो कपिल मिश्रा को गिरफ्तार करने की माँग कर रहे हैं
जय श्री राम

Opposition leaders have accused him of inciting the ongoing Delhi violence that has so far claimed more than 20 lives. BJP leader Gautam Gambhir has also sought strict action against those responsible for provocating the masses, regardless of their religion or political allegiance.
Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari also has requested all party leaders and workers to not say or do anything that creates “confusion” and sends a “wrong message” to the people.
