Rahul Gandhi asked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Friday for a simple yes-no response to the allegations made by Kumar Vishwas, who was closely associated with Kejriwal.
Kejriwal has come under fire after Kumar Vishwas said that Kejriwal had supported Khalistani terrorists in Punjab. The Punjab Assembly Election is scheduled for 2022, when the Aam Aadmi Party will be a major factor for the Congress and the BJP.
Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi has requested that PM Modi order a probe against Kejriwal as a result of the allegations, which PM Modi also mentioned in his recent public address in Punjab.
The chief minister on Friday dismissed the allegations that he is affiliated with terrorists as outrageous and accused the other parties of conspiring against him and AAP's Bhagwant Mann.
"Kejriwal ji. Give simple answer. Is Kumar Vishwas saying the truth? Yes or no?" Rahul Gandhi tweeted. Retweeting Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi added, "Waiting for the answer."
"Narendra Modi, Priyanka Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Charanjit Channi, Sukhbir Badal, Amarinder Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu, all are now levelling allegations that for the last ten years, Kejriwal is hatching a plan to break the country into two parts and wants to become the prime minister of one part," Delhi CM stated.
"One officer told me that over the next one or two days, an FIR will be registered against me by the NIA. All such FIRs are welcome, but if the Centre deals with national security in this manner, then it is a matter of concern," he said.
"Perhaps I am the world's sweetest terrorist who builds schools, hospitals, builds roads, improves road and power infrastructure, and sends elderly on pilgrimages. Such a terrorist would never have been born," Kejriwal added.
