    Delhi: BJP MP calls for ‘total boycott’ of a community at an event
    Verma was heard saying, "Wherever you find them, there is only one way to correct them - absolute boycott," in a fictitious film of the gathering, which was organised by numerous Hindu organisations opposed to the murders.

    Digital Desk: Delhi BJP MP, Parvesh Verma courted controversy on Sunday after it was claimed that he made incendiary comments about a group at a rally over the assassination of a Hindu boy in northeast Delhi.

    Earlier this month, Manish (19) was stabbed to death in Sundar Nagri. Aalam, Bilal, and Faizan have all been detained by police as suspects in the murder of the man, which they claim was the result of a long-standing feud.

    Verma was heard saying, "Wherever you find them, there is only one way to correct them - absolute boycott," in a fictitious film of the gathering, which was organised by numerous Hindu organisations opposed to the murders. Would you concur with me? The Delhi Police stated that it is gathering information about the Dilshad Garden event and added that no permission was sought to hold it there.

    "There haven't been any complaints yet. A senior police officer stated that footage pertaining to the speeches delivered at the event would be investigated.

    The West Delhi-based BJP MP Verma was unavailable for comment right away.

    In the alleged video, Verma was seen asking the gathering to raise their hands if they agreed with him regarding a "complete boycott" of the neighbourhood.

    "We won't patronise their stores or give them any wages. He may be heard in the video saying, "This is the only treatment for them.

    The murder of Manish was caught on a CCTV camera. Three young people are seen accosting him while going down a lane in the video. The video also reveals one of the three smacking Manish while grabbing him by the collar. Along with the other two, they begin stabbing Manish with knives.
