Unfortunate, should not have happened: Haryana CM slams attack on Kejriwal
News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 1st December 2024
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini condemned the event in which a liquid was thrown at former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convener Arvind Kejriwal, calling it “unfortunate” and emphasizing that such situations should never happen.BJP MP Manoj Tiwari denied the AAP’s claim that the attacker who hurled liquid at Kejriwal during his ‘padayatra’ was a BJP worker. Tiwari alleged that Kejriwal personally orchestrates such situations, claiming that he has “fallen in the eyes of Delhi.”
“He should fulfil the promises he made to the people of the state. Such an incident is unfortunate. This should not have happened,” the Haryana CM said.
“The BJP is not involved in such cheap tactics… We condemn this… I think Arvind Kejriwal does these conspiracies himself because he has fallen in the eyes of Delhi… Someone may have expressed their anger on the streets, we have nothing to do with it,” Tiwari said.
The BJP MP further urged the public to punish Kejriwal through democratic means, such as voting, and demanded an inquiry to determine if Kejriwal staged the attack himself.
“I appeal to the people that if they want to punish a criminal like Arvind Kejriwal, they should do that with votes… They can do anything to gain sympathy… Everyone should stay alert. They can even get themselves shot. They are drama kings… We want an inquiry to see if Arvind Kejriwal got this done himself,” Tiwari said.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday for being attacked by a bus marshal during his ‘padayatra’. Kejriwal accused Shah of failing to confront crime in Delhi while supposedly targeting him. In a post on X, Kejriwal wrote, “Amit Shah Ji, what will happen by stopping me? Stop crime in Delhi. Will crime in Delhi decrease by stopping me? Will open shootouts in Delhi stop? Will the women of Delhi become safe? Will the traders of Delhi be secure?”
According to authorities, the AAP Chief was shaking hands with the public when a bus marshal named Ashok Jha tried to throw “water” at him. The cops apprehended the man on the spot. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi alleged that the perpetrator was a BJP member. “In broad daylight, a BJP worker attacked Arvind Kejriwal ji. The BJP is nervous about losing the Delhi elections for the third consecutive time. Delhi’s people will not tolerate such tactics. Last time, the BJP won eight seats; this time, they’ll get none,” Atishi declared.
