Delhi Assembly polls 2020: The Election Commission Friday slapped a notice on Kapil Mishra asking why no action should be taken against him.
The officials said that the Election Commission's action came after the office of the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer wrote to the EC to remove the tweet posted by Mishra on Thursday.
Attacking Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for his remarks that he stands with the people of Shaheen Bagh, which has seen anti-CAA protests for over a month, Shah said: “If they come to power, will Delhi be safe? Should people who instigate riots have the right to be in power?”
