After protest from different quarters, Mohan deleted the tweet and locked his account.

BJP workers and their family members have been facing violence since Sunday evening.
More than 15 workers have lost their lives. Many offices and members’ homes have been torched.
Delhi-based journals Saba Naqvi tacitly justified the violence.
