I Can Lay Down My Life For The Country: Kejriwal On Vandalism At Home

Mumbai: A day after vandalism and violence at his residence, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said that he can lay down his life for the country.

Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of hooliganism, the AAP convener asked that if the world’s largest and ruling party does such goondagardi in New Delhi, what message will it give to the youth of the country?

“Arvind Kejriwal is not important but the nation is. I can lay down my life for the country,” the Delhi CM said.

This statement from Kejriwal comes after members of the BJP youth wing led by BJP Yuva Morcha’s national president and MP Tejasvi Surya allegedly vandalised property outside the residence of Delhi CM during a protest on Wednesday for his remarks on ‘The Kashmir Files’ film.

Addressing a press conference after the incident, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged that it was a conspiracy to assassinate Kejriwal as the saffron party is unable to defeat AAP in the elections.

The BJP accused AAP of writing drama and playing the victim card following public anger against Kejriwal’s remarks that mocked displaced Kashmiri Pandits.

Delhi Police said that a case has been registered against unidentified persons in connection with the incident.

Since the release of Vivek-Agnihotri-directed Kashmir Files’, the opposition has accused the BJP of not doing enough to address the plight of Kashmiri Pandits.

Kejriwal had earlier said that the money earned from the commercial generation of the film should be used for the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits and efforts should be made to bring them back home. He also demanded the release of the film on YouTube so that everyone can watch it.
