Union Minister Anurag Thakur slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday for his comments on the killings of Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir, alleging that he used Khalistan supporters to form the Punjab government.
Thakur questioned Kejriwal on what he had done for Kashmiri Pandits, claiming that he was the only one who did not believe in the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits.
“What has Arvind Kejriwal done in Delhi for Kashmiri Pandits? You bring up concerns about airstrikes and surgical strikes. We don’t require any certificates from you “He stated this during a conversation with ANI.
He claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party gained power in Punjab with the help of Khalistanis and that he (Kejriwal) protects corrupt ministers in both Delhi and Punjab.
“Arvind Kejriwal, you are unable to respond to the questions posed. The Bharatiya Janata Party had posed ten questions to you, but you were unable to respond to any of them “he continued.
The IB Minister praised the PM Narendra Modi government’s efforts to keep the Union Territory peaceful “Only the BJP raised its voice and assisted citizens in repealing Articles 370 and 35A. In the last eight years, the Modi government has brought about overall development in Jammu and Kashmir while also eliminating terrorists.”
“It is extremely condemnable that you are not speaking out against terrorists and instead are engaging in dirty politics in the aftermath of recent killings in the Union Territory,” he said.
The I and B minister’s remarks were in response to the Aam Aadmi Party chief’s Sunday address at the Jan Aakrosh Rally at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, in which he (Kejriwal) lashed out at the Center over the alleged killing of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir and claimed that Kashmiri Pandits were being “forced” to leave their homes.
He also claimed that the “BJP can’t handle Kashmir.”
