New Delhi: Protests were held outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s home on Thursday by BJP workers who were upset over his comment mocking party leader Manoj Tiwari.
Kejriwal took a swipe at the Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari on Wednesday, saying Bihar-born MP would be among the first required to leave the city if the NRC were to be carried out in the national capital.
Tiwari, who has frequently called for a verification drive like the one in Assam that excluded 19 million people, repeated the demand after a journalist was assaulted in a South Delhi neighbourhood on Sunday evening in an attack he attributed to “infiltrators”.
“If NRC (National Register of Citizens) is implemented in Delhi then Manoj Tiwari will be the first one who will have to leave Delhi,” Chief Minister Kejriwal told reporters on Wednesday, when asked for his reaction to Tiwari’s demand.
