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

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters protested outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in the national capital over his remarks on The Kashmir Files. The crowd also vandalised the front gate of the chief minister’s house.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that the BJP, shocked by the Arvind Kejriwal-led party's win in Punjab, attempted to attack Delhi CM with the help of the Delhi Police.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed that anti-social elements launched an attack and damaged CCTV cameras and security barriers at Kejriwal's Delhi residence. 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 in another tweet.

Another AAP leader Satyendar Jain also alleged that the "attack by the BJP people took place in the presence of Delhi Police personnel during which CCTV cameras and barriers were broken."

BJYM national Secretary Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga said the workers and leaders of the organisation staged a protest near Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's house but did not resort to vandalism.

"We were stopped by the police and around 20-25 of our members and leaders, including Tejasvi Surya, were detained and taken to a police station. They were later released," Bagga told PTI.

The BJP and AAP have been involved in a war of words over 'The Kashmir Files' movie, with Kejriwal recently attacking the party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Delhi Assembly over the issue.

The BJP leaders and workers have been lashing out at Arvind Kejriwal and accusing him of "mocking" the pain of Kashmiri Pandits and terming the movie based on their "genocide" in Kashmir a hoax.
