Delhi minister Kapil Mishra has leveled allegations against AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal, suggesting that he is leading an initiative against Diwali celebrations
Starting tonight, a campaign will be launched to hurl abuse at Hindus’ festival of Diwali and Sanatan Dharma.
NEW DELHI: “The pollution in Delhi and Punjab is due to years of your corruption,” Delhi minister Kapil Mishra said, accusing AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal of planning a campaign against Diwali and Sanatan Dharma. Urging the former Delhi chief minister not to target the festival or the Hindu faith, Mishra said, “I urge Kejriwal not to run a campaign against Hindus and Diwali, and not to commit the sin of having your petty leaders hurl abuse at Sanatan Dharma.” He alleged that some party leaders and paid celebrities would target the Hindu festival under the pretext of pollution. In a post on X, Mishra claimed that a meeting had been called at Kejriwal’s residence to plan the campaign. “Word is that a meeting has been called at Kejriwal’s place. Some of Kejriwal’s leaders and celebrities bought with money will run a campaign against Diwali and Hindus from morning onward,” Mishra wrote. The BJP leader also accused the AAP leadership of shifting blame for pollution in Delhi and Punjab. He alleged that years of corruption under the party’s governments had contributed to the problem.
