Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was interrupted in a press conference by Congress MLA Asif Mohammed, who shouted that the ruling Aam Aadmi Party was not concerned about Muslims and insisted that the Congress should withdraw support from the government.

Accusing the government of not fulfilling its manifesto promises, the Okhla MLA alleged that Kejriwal was playing politics with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and was not concerned with Muslims in the state, adding that "a probe should be ordered into the Batla House encounter as well."
Kejriwal had said that the verdict in the 2008 Batla House encounter was already out and his government respected the court order.
The Congress party offers outside support to the minority AAP government. Speaking to media after the event, Mohammed said that even if the Congress continued to support the AAP government from outside, he would defy the stand of the party and vote against the legislation of the Delhi government.
Kejriwal was holding a press conference after completing a month in office, and was highlighting the achievements as well as plans of the state government.
The debutant politician had said that his government will probe the 1984 riots and the matter will have to first be cleared by the Cabinet post which it will be sent to the L-G for clearance.
"There are a lot of issues in the 1984 riots case... some files have just been closed without a probe," Kejriwal said when asked how he would reopen cases that were already shut by the CBI.
