The war of words over the surgical strikes intensified on Friday with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) hitting back at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah, saying a man whose history is known to the entire country is now issuing "certificates of patriotism".
Also, AAP said BJP president does not have credentials to even utter Kejriwal's name.
"It is surprising that Shah is issuing certificates of patriotism and honesty," Deputy Chief Minister and senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia said.
Shah, who was an accused in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, was acquitted of murder charges by a special CBI court on December 30, 2014.
"The Army is ours...Our brothers from the hinterland join the force. How come they (BJP) have become the contractors of the Army and patriotism.
"They are questioning Kejriwal's patriotismIJ The entire country is aware of his patriotic sentiment. Is Shah even capable of standing next to Kejriwal when it comes to patriotismIJ" Sisodia asked.
This was followed by Shah taking potshots at Kejriwal, saying he was the first one to cast doubts over the occurrence of surgical strikes and was trending on Twitter in Pakistan.
