Boiled
over the Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal’s ill-statement against the BJP
leader, Manoj Tiwari, the BJP’s Purvanchal Morcha activists have launched a massive
protest outside Kejriwal’s residence on Thursday.
The
Delhi police have however detained protestors shouting against the Delhi Chief
Minister.
The
Delhi CM had on Wednesday remarked, “If NRC is implemented in Delhi then Manoj
Tiwari will be the first one, who will have to leave Delhi”.
On
Thursday, the saffron brigades were witnessed climbing up barricades, waving
BJP flags and shouting slogans against Kejriwal. The local police however tried
to disrupt the protest using water cannons.
“Kejriwal’s
remarks have exposed his real face. The AAP Chief actually wanted to evict the
migrants, especially the Purvanchalis”, said the Bhojpuri
singer-turned-politician, Manoj Tiwari.
People
coming from the eastern parts of the country like: Bihar and east Uttar Pradesh
are termed as 'Purvanchalis'. They play an important role in any election in
Delhi.
Tiwari
has on several occasions demanded that NRC should be implemented in the
national capital on the lines of Assam.
“The
situation in Delhi had become "dangerous" due to the presence of a
"large number" of illegal immigrants including Bangladeshis and
Rohingyas, who have been found involved in "criminal activities",
Manoj Tiwari had said in a media statement last month.
