A law minister would know that no woman can be arrested, detained or interrogated after sunset. No wait, he wouldnt! Also, these Nigerian or Ugandan women arent like you or me any which way. So yes, this law minister seems promising! Jakhar said, “The minister (Bharti) told me that the women inside are part of a drug racket and that we should conduct a raid in all houses in the area. I told him that the law does not permit us to barge into someone’s house, so late in the night, without a search warrant.” But to not effect. The minister was not only unfazed; he even went on say that he had “received a lot of complaints from women in this locality against foreign nationals, yeh hum aur aap jaise nahin hain (They are not like you or me).” Less than 24 hours after he led a midnight raid and tried to bully police into arresting some who he alleged were members of “a prostitution-and-drug ring”, Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti returned to the very spot on Thursday and asked residents to draw up a list of houses where “such people” live and said he would personally check each one. kafila.org/2014/01/17/xenophobia-racism-and-vigilantism-danger-signals-for-aap/
