Published on: 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal surprised hundreds of worshippers when he and his wife turned up at a prominent gurdwara in New Delhi on Monday midnight, said AAP lawmaker Jarnail Singh on Wednesday.

Kejriwal along with his wife, Sunita, visited Rakab Ganj Gurdwara near Parliament without security to take part in Rehansabhi Kirtan, which goes on throughout the night, and stayed there for 45 minutes, he said.

“Kejriwal and his wife stood in line for 15-20 minutes for ‘Matha Tekna’ (paying obeisance) and then listened (to) Gurbaani as an ordinary disciple. No announcement of his presence was made and even no designated place was secured for his sitting. Sangat (the congregation) was amazed with his simplicity,” Singh wrote on his Facebook page.

“Kejriwal sat along with everyone else without security. He was presented with gurmat literature outside the Bhai lakhi Shah Vanjars Hall,” he said, adding Kejriwal has expressed his wish to attend the Kirtan, a day before his sudden visit.
