Attacking Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab BJP president Kamal Sharma on Saturday termed him as “Natwarlal” of politics, who is befooling everyone, for his personal gains and self-promotion.
In a statement issued, Sharma took a dig at Kejriwal, saying: “This mufflerman bureaucrat-turned-politician has created anarchy in Delhi. Now, he is hell bent upon replicating the same in Punjab. But, the people of Punjab are very intelligent and would not allow him to succeed in his sinister designs.” He said Kejriwal follows the policy of “hit and run”, he hits an issue but runs away when asked about its solution.”
Daring Kejriwal to clarify his stand on three crucial issues, which till now AAP has smartly given a slip, Sharma said: “Kejriwal has so far not clarified his stand on the JNU issue, wherein anti-national activities were being held and terrorists were being glorified as martyrs”. Sharma demanded that Kejriwal, who is presently on five-day visit to Punjab, should speak on the JNU issue, without any further delay. Sharma said that Haryana kept burning for so many days but unfortunately, Kejriwal, who hails from the state, did not uttered a single word. He said: “What moral right Kejriwal has to stay in politics, if he stays away from the crucial issuesIJ”
Raking up another sensitive issue, concerning everyone in Punjab, Sharma strongly condemned the Delhi chief minister for being ‘tight-lipped’ over the Khalistan and Bhindranwale. “Elections in Punjab are due to be held in early next year and Kejriwal has already started electioneering but what has shocked everyone is that he is not clarifying his stand on the Khalistani agenda”, the Punjab BJP chief said.
