New Delhi, Jan. 7 -- Congress leader Udit Raj on Wednesday criticised the Delhi government over the recent demolition drive and stone-pelting incident near the Faiz-e-Elahi Masjid at Turkman Gate.

He said that while Delhi has several illegal encroachments, he could not understand why this particular demolition exercise was carried out.

Raj added that it remains unclear who gathered at the site and what triggered the riot-like situation.

"There are many illegal encroachments in Delhi, I am unable to understand what kind of demolition drive it was... As for the riots, where people came from and what led to the incident are not known. Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, like people, are put behind bars to build a narrative," he told ANI.
