Man slaps Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi, AAP workers trash attacker


New Delhi, Apr 4 (IBN): There has been yet another attack on the Aam Aadmi Party leaders as party chief Arvind Kejriwal was on Friday slapped by an unidentified person in Dakshinpuri in Delhi. AAP workers beat the attacker up following the incident.
Kejriwal was travelling in an open jeep during a roadshow when the incident took place. The man has now been taken into custody by police.

Soon after the attack, Kejriwal appealed to his supporters not to retaliate. "We will not retaliate even if we are killed," he said.

This is not the first time that Kejriwal has been attacked this election season. Kejriwal had faced an ink attack in Varanasi on the day he announced his candidature from the temple town.
He was also attacked in Bhiwani in Haryana last week, following which he had asked his supporters not to resort to violence.

Earlier AAP leader Yogendra Yadav too had faced an ink attack at Jantar Mantar last month.
Kejriwal has been refusing to accept security cover despite such attacks on him saying he wants to end the VVIP culture.

    Now the AAP has become hurdle to BJP and Congress. They are doing their level best and trying hard to pull down AAP and Kejriwal. Paid medias are also supporting this corrupt parties. The recent evidence is, the corrupt Modi, who is the obedient servant of Ambani and Adani, called the Kejriwal as Pak agent. Let Modi know that, Kejriwal is the face of Mahatma Gandhi and Raj Mohan Gandhi, the grand son of Mahatma Gandhi joined AAP and contesting in one of the Delhi LS constituency. My best wishes and heartfull support to Kejriwal and his team

    Why the govt is half hearted in giving full security to Arvind Kejriwal. We the people of India feel that AK is equally an important upcoming true and honest leader of India and he too need security as good as Rahul & Modi.
    If this kind of security lapses on AK repeats the youth of India will protest and demand the ruling government to answer them because he is the great hope of the downtrodden Indian.
    Jai Hind!

    Against Sonia Gandhi there is no AAP candidate

    Against the hero of 2G scandal no AAP candidate

    Against the son of our great finance minister P Chidambaram - no AAP candidate


    Against Mr Salman Khursid who ate d money of poor handicapped ppl - no AAP candidate

    Against Adarsh scam legend Ashok Chavan - no AAP candidate

    Against Owais Siddique who is popular for his hatred speech- no AAP candidate

    Now u should judge whether Mr Kejriwal n his AAP grp is fighting against corruption n anti national elements or working agents of Congress to divide votes of BJP..

    AK Is a dangerous thorn for corrupt forces and communal forces. They want to stop AK at any cost as big corrupt forces/business men and communal forces likely to be exposed if he becomes popular.Sadly, these corrupt and communal forces have the backing of many people and many supporters. It seems now these communal/Corrupt forces are partly successful in stopping AK now as he is slowly beginning to fade away. very sad. Congress and BJP are have lot of money .Can AK can withstand this money force?

    Everytime, when the attack took place, it was proved to be by the AAP Member itself, this time we hve to wait n watch.
    As a citizen of the country, I feel, Everyone who loves his country atleast once will slap on Lierwal's face for his number of U turns, and Fooling the people with his false statements.. He makes everyone believe that he is a saint, But everyone knows he is a Congress Agent....

    Some of the Fun Facts about AAP.

    They told us they were against Widespread Corruption in this country.
    AAP's Candidate against Sonia Gandhi - None
    AAP's Candidate against Salman Khurshid - None
    AAP's Candidate against Sachin Pilot - None
    AAP's Candidate against 2G fame A.Raja - None
    AAP's Candidate against P. Chidambaram's son - None
    AAP's Candidate against Owaisi - None
    AAP's Candidate against Ashok Chavan - None
    AAP's Candidate against Rahul Gandhi - Comedian
    AAP's Candidate against Kapil Sibal - Biased journalist

    AAP withdraw his candidate Ajay Somani from Ajmer to support Sachin Pilot,

    AAP Candidates from Farukkhabad withdraw his candidates to support Salman Kurshid,

    AAP withdraws his candidates from Jalandhar and Other places..

    This is not UNKNOWN Drama, of first fielding the candidates to show off, and then later withdrawing its candidates.. Fakhrudhin is last min announcement from the party, Just wait a watch he too will be withdrawn very soon..

    AAP and Congress Game plan is Very much known to the Public...
