After the Delhi Police registered FIRs and made some arrests in connection with posters — seeking the ouster of Prime Minister Narendra Modi — were found pasted on walls in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday criticised him, and questioned “why was he so scared”.<\/p>\n
Addressing a public meeting at Jantar Mantar, Kejriwal said: “Why is the prime minister so scared? I saw that posters were put up against me and I don’t have any problem with that. There won’t be any FIR or arrest.<\/p>\n
“There was just a poster of ‘Modi Hatao Desh Bachao’ which was not a big deal. Why is the PM so insecure that he is putting everyone in jail?” the AAP convenor said while addressing a gathering.<\/p>\n
Emphasising that “today (Thursday) is the martyrdom day of three great personalities — Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru”, Kejriwal said India’s freedom fighters had pasted a lot of posters against the British.<\/p>\n
“Even a hundred years ago, the British did not arrest anyone for that. Bhagat Singh would not ever thought that such a Prime Minister would come one day who would file 138 FIRs against those who pasted the posters,” Kejriwal said.<\/p>\n
“The Prime Minister of a powerful country is fighting with those who pasted posters… why is the Prime Minister so scared?” the Delhi Chief Minister questioned.<\/p>\n
“Some people are taking the country towards dictatorship. Together we have to save the country’s Constitution and democracy, we have to save the country,” he said, adding: “I have no objection to these people who have put up posters against me in Delhi. In a democracy, the people have every right to express their views in favour of or against their leader. Those who put up posters against me should not be arrested.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
