Case Registered Against Kumar Vishwas For Making Remarks Against Arvind Kejriwal

Opposition attacked the Punjab government!


The Punjab police have booked former Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas under various charges for his explosive remarks targeting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in an interview during Punjab assembly elections earlier this year, sources said.

Without directly taking his name, Kumar Vishwas had said that Arvind Kejriwal wants to be the Prime Minister of an independent nation of Khalistan.

A police team reached his residence this morning to serve notice asking him to join the investigation in this case. Opposition parties have attacked the Punjab government, accusing it of misusing the police for political vendetta.

"The Punjab police arrived at my doorstep early this morning. I am cautioning Bhagwant Mann, who I admitted into the party myself, that the person sitting in Delhi who you are letting play with the power given by the people of Punjab, will betray both you and Punjab one day.

This country should remember my warning," the former AAP leader said on Twitter along with some pictures of cops at his residence.

Kumar Vishwas's comments, which were allegedly on Kejriwal, before the Punjab election had created a furore. The Bharatiya Janata Party had shared a video of Kumar Vishwas, one of the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleging that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal wanted to be "either the Punjab CM or the PM of Khalistan".

On Wednesday, Soon after Vishwas's tweet, AAP leader Naresh Balyan took a dig at him, asking him why he was "scared"? "Police are only asking for proof of what you had said before elections. Give them the evidence and end the matter," he tweeted.
