NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal came under an ink attack in Rajasthan on Tuesday, days after he said the Indian government should provide evidence that its troops carried out ‘surgical strikes’ by crossing the Line of Control to hunt terrorists in Azad Kashmir.
As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was leaving the home of a local leader after a condolence meeting, a man later identified as Dinesh Ojha accused Kejriwal of being an anti-national and attacked him with black ink on face.
The Delhi CM tweeted after the ink attack saying: ‘God bless those who threw ink at me.’
Kejriwal recently came under fire from the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party government for releasing a video in which he criticised Pakistan but also asked the Indian government to provide substantial evidence regarding the alleged ‘surgical strikes’ across the LoC. INP
