Arvind Kejriwal: Anyone Putting Up Posters Against Me Shouldn’t Be Arrested
Guwahati: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that anyone who puts up posters against him should not be arrested on Thursday after several arrests being made over posters against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Talking to media persons, Kejriwal said, “I have no objection to these people who have put up posters against me in Delhi. In a democracy, the public has every right to express their views in favour of or against their leader. Those who put up posters against me should not be arrested.”
“I saw on social media what they have written, ‘Kejriwal Hatao, Delhi Bachao’. I don’t mind. I did not understand why their printer was seized and those people were arrested. That is not good,” he added.
Kejriwal’s comments followed the appearance of posters criticising him in the nation’s capital, a day after posters attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared.
Delhi Police made multiple arrests in relation to the incident where some miscreants are believed to have put up posters against PM Modi. Posters with the phrase “Modi Hatao Desh Bachao” advocating for the removal of PM Modi from office have been discovered posted throughout the city.
The Delhi Chief minister criticised PM Modi over the incident as well.
“I don’t know why the Prime Minister is so scared. What difference will it make if some people paste the posters? Modi ji is fighting with the printing people and those who paste posters. It does not suit such a powerful Prime Minister of a great country would clash with the printing and the poster-pasting people”, he said.
He further said, “Why is PM Modi so scared? Why is he so insecure? This is a normal poster, anyone can put such posters in a democracy.”
