On being asked if he considers Arvind Kejriwal a terrorist, Manoj Tiwari said, "It is a debatable topic." Manoj Tiwari's statement came a few days after BJP MP Parvesh Verma, addressing an election meeting in Madipur Assembly constituency, said, "Kejriwal jaise natwarlal, Kejriwal jaise atankwadi is desh mein chhupe baithe hain [Natwarlals and terrorists like Kejriwal are hiding in this country]"



Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Manoj Tiwari said on Tuesday that it is "debatable" if Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is a "terrorist".

Manoj Tiwari's statement came a few days after BJP MP Parvesh Verma, addressing an election meeting in Madipur Assembly constituency, said, "Kejriwal jaise natwarlal, Kejriwal jaise atankwadi is desh mein chhupe baithe hain [Natwarlals and terrorists like Kejriwal are hiding in this country]"

Reiterating the statement, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said Arvind Kejriwal had called himself an "anarchist" and there is not much of a "difference between an anarchist and a terrorist".

While two BJP leaders have compared Arvind Kejriwal with a "terrorist", Manoj Tiwari, while speaking to India Today TV, maintained that no one has called Arvind Kejriwal a terrorist and the Delhi chief minister was playing a victim card.

"Prakash Javadekar did not call Arvind Kejriwal a terrorist. No one has called Kejriwal a terrorist. They are making it up. He has been going around asking if he is a terrorist. He is playing the victim card. Nobody called Kejriwal a terrorist, he is saying that himself," Manoj Tiwari told India Today TV.



When he was asked if he considers Arvind Kejriwal a terrorist, Manoj Tiwari said, "It is a debatable topic."

"This is a debatable topic. He supports slogans seeking to divide the nation. Arvind Kejriwal has not given approval for lodging a case against those raiding seditious slogans like 'Bharat tere tukde honge'. He is acting as their protector," Manoj Tiwari said.


Manoj Tiwari also said the people who were present in Anurag Thakur's Rithala rally chanted the controversial part of the "desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maaro sa***n ko" slogan, and not the Union minister.

Speaking with India Today TV, Manoj Tiwari said the BJP leader did not say "goli maaro" but the public did. Manoj Tiwari, however, also distanced himself from Anurag Thakur's "goli maaro" remark, saying violence has no place in BJP.

When he was asked about the way the public was instigated to chant "goli maaro sa***n ko", Amnoj Tiwari said, "Hamare neta ne nahi kaha ki goli maaro, wo toh janata ne kaha lekin hum iss baat ka samarthan nahi karte hain [Our leader did not say 'goli maaro', that was said by the public but I don't support the statement]" Manoj Tiwari said.



Ahead of Delhi election, Manoj Tiwari told India Today TV that Shaheen Bagh is an experiment done by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Manoj Tiwari told India Today TV's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai that "Shaheen Bagh is not a coincidence but an experiment done by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for Muslim votes".

"Kejriwal is behind Shaheen Bagh. He used Amanatullah Khan and Shaheen Bagh is a result of that. And Kejriwal did this to win Muslim votes," Manoj Tiwari said.

CONGRESS IN BETTER POSITION THAN AAP IN DELHI: MANOJ TIWARI

BJP Delhi Chief Manoj Tiwari said that Congress was better placed than Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi assembly election, and both were in a close run to polarise Muslim votes in their favour.

Maintaining that BJP was clearly ahead of both the parties in Delhi, he said, "BJP is going to form the government in Delhi on February 11 and that their competition in Delhi is against Congress and not AAP."

The Election Commission on Thursday issued a showcause notice to Parvesh Verma for allegedly calling Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal a "terrorist".

The notice came on a day when he was barred from campaigning for 96 hours (four days) for making controversial remarks at a poll meeting recently.

The poll panel has also ordered his removal from the BJP's list of star campaigners. The notice said the AAP had approached the Delhi chief electoral officer with a complaint.

"AAP complaint alleged that you have cast vitriolic aspersions on the chief minister of Delhi referring to him as a terrorist," the notice said.

Isn't it a failure of the Home Ministry that a person they think is a terrorist is not even charged.
