In Hating Me, BJP Is Now Supporting Pakistanis: Arvind Kejriwal On Protests After His Anti-CAA Remarks

Hours after scores of Pakistani Hindu refugees living in Delhi protested outside his residence over his remarks on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday questioned the ‘audacity’ of ‘some Pakistanis’ to seek apology from a chief minister who, he noted (referring to himself), was in office thanks to an ‘overwhelming majority’ from the people of Delhi.

“Today, a few Pakistanis created ruckus outside my house. They were given full respect and got looked after by Delhi Police. The BJP too fully supported them. How dare they come to our country and demand apology from a CM who was elected by the people of Delhi with a massive mandate? And the BJP is supporting them (the refugees)?” the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor wrote in a post in Hindi on X (formerly Twitter).
