New Delhi. Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leadership, saying he does not understand how Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and “his gang” are related to Hindu and Hindutva. Why does he hate so much?
Kiren Rijiju’s remarks came after a video surfaced of Delhi government minister Rajendra Pal Gautam purportedly attending a ‘conversion programme’. In the video that went viral on Friday, thousands of attendees can be heard taking a pledge to convert to Buddhism and condemning Hindu gods and goddesses.
Rijiju said in a series of tweets on Friday night and Saturday morning, “I really don’t understand why Arvind Kejriwal and his gang hate Hindu and Hindutva so much? I can understand about Rahul Gandhi but Arvind Kejriwal.
Rijiju, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Arunachal Pradesh said that every Indian should follow the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’. With the video of the AAP leader coming out, the BJP attacked the Delhi Chief Minister and demanded that Gautam should be sacked from the cabinet.
However, Gautam issued a statement saying that he is a very religious person and cannot criticize / condemn any deity even in dreams with his deeds and words. There has been no official reaction from AAP or the Delhi government on this but AAP sources claimed that the chief minister is “extremely unhappy” with Social Welfare Minister Gautam over the issue.
