BJP supporters protest outside Arvind Kejriwal's house, vandalise front gate

A demonstration by BJP's Yuva Morcha on Wednesday outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence following his comments on the film 'The Kashmiri Files' witnessed protesters breaking the security barrier, damaging CCTV cameras and defacing the gate.

The protest was led by Yuva Morcha national president Tejasvi Surya outside Kejriwal's residence in north Delhi's Civil Lines, and the AAP was quick to accuse the BJP of wanting to "kill" Kejriwal. Surya described the allegation as "figment of imagination" and "totally hysterical".

A group of activists gathered outside Kejriwal's residence and some of them broke the security barrier and moved towards the iron gate, which they painted with saffron colour. Some of the activists were seen trying to make the activists return to the road. Some palm prints in saffron colour were also pasted on the walls.

The Yuva Morcha had organised the protest demanding Kejriwal's apology for allegedly "mocking" Kashmiri Pandits. The Delhi Chief Minister had taken on the BJP government over the latter's support to 'The Kashmir Files', a film on the travails of Kashmiri Pandits, saying that the Narendra Modi government has not done anything for them.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister alleged that anti-social elements damaged CCTV cameras and security barriers at Kejriwal's residence in Delhi. The boom barrier at the gate was also broken, he said. "The goons of the BJP resorted to vandalism at CM Arvind Kejriwal house. BJP's police, instead of stopping them, took them to the gate of the house," Sisodia said.

"As it could not defeat Arvind Kejriwal in the Punjab polls, the BJP now wants to kill him. Today's attack on the chief minister's house shows that the BJP, with the help of police, wants to kill Kejriwal. We will lodge a formal complaint against this...The life-threatening attack was properly planned," Sisodia alleged.

Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain said that the "attack" took place in the presence of Delhi Police personnel during which CCTV cameras and barriers were broken.

Surya said the fight against Kejriwal would continue as the AAP and its policies are always anti-national.

Demanding "unconditional apology" over his remarks, Surya alleged that Kejriwal's policies always in favour of terrorist and his attempt to white wash the atrocities over the Kashmiri pandits was uncalled for.
