Shaheen Bagh shooter Kapil Gujjar shares photo with BJP's national General Secretary
New Delhi: The social media platform Twitter witnessed a contentious post as a photograph of Kapil Gujjar, the alleged perpetrator of the Shaheen Bagh shooting, posing with BJP's National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, came to light.
The photograph was shared by Kapil himself congratulating the new BJP General Secretary on being appointed for the post.
Journalist Mohammed Zubair, who shared the screenshot of the post, questioned the nature of their association, seeking to understand the context behind the photo.
The tweet by Zubair reads, "Kapil Gujjar, The person who opened fire at protesters at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh shares his photograph on Twitter with BJP's National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya. @KailashOnline Reward?"
Kapil Gujjar's involvement in the Shaheen Bagh incident had sparked widespread condemnation and concern over the safety of protesters and the larger implications of such acts on peaceful demonstrations. His photograph with a prominent BJP leader has now raised further questions about the potential link between the two individuals.

Maharashtra sets up state vaccination task force to strengthen immunisation programme
Mumbai (PTI): The Maharashtra government has set up a State Vaccination Task Force to strengthen the regular immunisation programme and review the progress of related campaigns, a health department official said on Monday.
The State Vaccination Task Force will comprise at least 29 members and will be headed by the administrative head of the health department, he informed.
The government has also constituted separate district-level and municipal vaccination task forces to improve implementation and address challenges at the grassroots level, he said.
Municipal task forces, chaired by respective civic commissioners, have been constituted in view of the vast urban population in Maharashtra and the role of civic bodies in implementing different health programmes.
The district-level task forces will function under the chairmanship of collectors.
"Complete immunisation of children at the appropriate age is an extremely simple, cost-effective and highly effective measure to reduce child mortality and the prevalence of diseases among kids. Immunisation is a powerful tool for reducing illness in children," maintained the official.
To ensure full vaccination of all children, the state government implements various campaigns from time to time as per the central government guidelines, he pointed out.
"Active participation and cooperation of other relevant government departments are essential (in making these campaigns successful)," according to the official.
The state-level body will review the regular immunisation programme, associated campaigns and vaccine-preventable diseases in detail. It will also conduct focused assessments of high-risk districts and municipal corporations, including vacancies at district, municipal and sub-district levels, availability of cold chain equipment, resource gaps and training requirements, he noted.
The state task force will review allocation and utilisation of funds for immunisation and ensure timely action by officers concerned based on reports from district and municipal task forces and state-level monitoring mechanisms, the official said.
It will also ensure active coordination and participation of other government departments in immunisation drives, while district and municipal task forces will carry out similar functions at their respective levels, the official added.
