New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Friday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his "delayed" appeal to the citizens to maintain peace in the wake of communal violence in northeast Delhi. While speaking to ANI, he said, “Prime Minister Modi woke up after 69 hours and appealed for peace and calm in Delhi. He should have done it earlier. But Home Minister Amit Shah made no such appeal.
