While a student of Jamia Millia Islamia was shot by a youth amid the protest against the Citizen (Amendment) Act, the BJP spokesperson and candidate for Hari Nagar, Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, made a provocative statement against the agitators on Thursday.

Terming Shaheen Bagh protest a hub of treason, Bagga said Shaheen Bagh will see a surgical strike on February 11 after results of Delhi Assembly elections are out.   

"Supporters of Shaheen Bagh yesterday compared India's Army with that of Pakistan and claimed they kill people. Shaheen Bagh has become the hub of treason. A surgical strike will happen there on February 11 after the results are declared," he said in a tweet.

Referring to a speech of activist Tapan Bose on Tuesday aat Jantar Mantar in which he had said Pakistan is not an enemy country of India.  "The ruling class of India and Pakistan are the same. Their army and our army are also the same. Their army kills their own people and our army also kills our own people. There is no difference in both," Bose had said.

While poll date is approaching in Delhi,  BJP functionary had termed Shaheen Bagh as Shaitani (devil's) Bagh. "We will not let Delhi become Syria and allow them to run an ISIS-like module here, where women and kids are used. They are trying to create fear in the minds of people of Delhi by blocking the main route. We will not let this happen," tweeted BJP national secretary Tarun Chugh.

On Tuesday, BJP Member of Parliament (MP) Parvesh Verma raised the spectre of Shaheen Bagh's protesters in their lakhs entering homes to rape and kill women, provoking opposition outrage as the Delhi election chief submitted a report on his remarks to the Election Commission.
