TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday questioned who “paid” the Jamia shooter, a day after a man opened fire at a group of anti-CAA protesters in the area. Asked by reporters to comment on the incident as he was entering Parliament, Gandhi said, “Who paid the Jamia shooter?”
On Thursday, Gandhi had tweeted a quote from Mahatma Gandhi, “I cannot teach you violence, as I do not believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before anyone, even at the cost of your life.”
Tensions in the Jamia area spiralled on Thursday after a man fired a pistol at a group of anti-CAA protesters, injuring a student, before walking away while waving the firearm above his head and shouting “Yeh lo aazadi” amid heavy police presence.
