Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday called a meeting to discuss the prevailing situation in the national capital after violence in Northeast Delhi over the amended citizenship law left four people dead.

Delhi's lieutenant-governor Anil Baijal, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and representatives of different political parties were invited for the meeting.

The home minister has convened a meeting to discuss the current situation in Delhi, a home ministry official said.

The move came after the home minister reviewed the law and order situation in the national capital on Monday night as violence rocked Northeast Delhi.

Earlier, Kejriwal too had called for an urgent meeting with MLAs of the violence-hit areas, saying he is 'very worried' about the prevailing situation in certain parts of Delhi.

'Am meeting all MLAs (of all parties) of affected areas along wid senior officials in a while,' Kejriwal added.
