In another press release issued on 13 April 2020, Delhi State SUCI(C) severely condemned the callous and careless attitude of the functionaries of the AAP-led Delhi state government which led to the violence at the three shelter homes near Kashmere Gate, caused death of one migrant labourer because of being drowned in river Yamuna and set many homes there on fire. The incident, the statement mentioned, also exposed the hollowness of the tall claims made by the BJP-led central government and the AAP-led Delhi state government about providing free food and shelter to these hapless poor people. More disquieting was the fact that the civil defence volunteers and the police ruthlessly put down the complaints and protests of the desperate labourers, men and women, in these homes. The SUCI(C), Delhi demanded that the role of the police, management and the civil defence volunteers in these incidents be thoroughly probed through a judicial enquiry and the guilty be punished.
