BJP’s Purvanchal Morcha protests outside Kejriwal’s residence over his NRC remarks

Kejriwal had remarked that if NRC is implemented in Delhi then Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari will have to move out. BJP's Kapil Mishra has filed a complaint against Kejriwal for spreading lies and fear against NRC by insinuating state domicile as a ground for rejection.

The BJP has organised a massive protest outside Delhi CM and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal’s residence against his statement on Delhi BJP leader Manoj Tiwari over NRC.

In a stunning display of ignorance about the difference in citizenship and domicile, Arvind Kejriwal had yesterday said that if NRC is implemented in Delhi, Manoj Tiwari will be the first one to leave Delhi. The Delhi CM had either forgotten, or ignored the fact that NRC is for checking citizenship, and not state domicile.

Scores of BJP workers, mainly from BJP’s Purvanchal Morcha, held protests in Delhi earlier today against Kejriwal’s remarks for Delhi BJP leader Manoj Tiwari. The police have detained members of BJP’s Purvanchal Morcha who took part in the protest against Arvind Kejriwal for his remark on Wednesday against Tiwari. Police also resorted to using water cannons against the protestors.


In response to the misinformative statement by Kejriwal and other AAP leaders against implementing NRC, Tiwari had retorted saying, “If I am illegal, then is Kejriwal suggesting that every Purvanchali is illegal? Do you want to force them out of Delhi too? NRC identifies illegal immigrants, that is people who are from outside India and not from other parts of India. The people of Delhi will now answer to the Chief Minister.”

Delhi BJP leader Manoj Tiwari had said recently that the situation in Delhi is worsening due to the presence of illegal immigrants who pose a threat to the safety of people in Delhi. Tiwari had said that the situation in Delhi had become “too dangerous” because of the presence of illegal immigrants in the city. Tiwari assured that the BJP government will implement the NRC in Delhi as well just like they have done it in Assam

A police complaint was also filed against the AAP supremo for spreading falsehoods and fomenting trouble. BJP leader Kapil Mishra filed a police complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj for fear-mongering, trying to cause trouble and spreading lies through social media about NRC.
