PATIALA: Congress leader Bir Devinder Singh has questioned the silence of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over violence during the recent Jat quota agitation in Haryana.
“It’s astonishing that Kejriwal is silent on the violence and loot in his home state but speaking out on almost everything going on in Punjab,” said the former Punjab assembly deputy speaker, adding: “When the damage to the public and private property was so huge, and the reports of mass rapes on National Highway-1 at Murthal are all over the media, his silence is baffling.”
He regret ted that even Punjab had not highlighted its own people who were looted. In Guru Har Sahai, Congress MLA Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi said the AAP leader had cheated the people of Delhi. “He promised them 5,000 more buses every year; marshals on board for women’s safety, free public Wi-Fi; Jan Lokpal, 2 lakh community toilets; and 500 new schools. When he failed to deliver, he put the blame on Delhi Police and bureaucrats,” said the MLA.
