Home Minister Amit Shah should be sacked for "abdicating" his duties and both the centre and Arvind Kejriwal's government in Delhi had been "mute spectators" to the clashes that had claimed at least 34 lives, Congress president Sonia Gandhi said today after meeting the President along with a party delegation.

"We urged the President to use his power to protect Rajdharma," former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, condemning the violence in which over 200 have been injured.

Sonia Gandhi, targeting both the ruling BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), said: "The centre and the newly-elected Delhi government were mute spectators to the violence."

The Congress has been demanding Amit Shah's resignation over the violence that broke out on Sunday evening in northeast Delhi between groups against and in favour of the controversial citizenship law CAA.
