Those who oppose BJP will be murdered: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: Accusing the Narendra Modi and Amit Shah-powered BJP of attempting to suppress disapproving voices from the Opposition, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that those who continue to oppose the ruling party will be murdered.

The AAP convenor further said that irrespective of their religion, the ruling party will eliminate those who continue to oppose it and, only those supporting it, will be allowed to live.

The Delhi Chief Minister said this in a tweet in Hindi.

"BJP`s message is clear. Those willing to become BJP`s slaves will be allowed to live - be it Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Christian or from any other religion. And those opposing it will be murdered," CM Kejriwal said in a tweet.

Kejriwal`s tweet was in response to media reports which claimed that the right-wing outfit Hindu Yuva Vahini had allegedly offered Rs 1 crore bounty on Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu`s head for allegedly insulting Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

It may be noted that Punjab Congress leader and minister Sidhu has come under attack for allegedly praising Pakistan and while at the same time criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government's policies and functioning.

Sidhu had recently attended the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor in Pakistan on November 28 on the personal invitation of its Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The Kartarpur corridor will connect Darbar Sahib in Pakistan's Kartarpur - the final resting place of Sikh faith's founder Guru Nanak Dev - with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in India's Gurdaspur district and facilitate visa-free movement of Indian Sikh pilgrims.

In a previous tweet, Kejriwal had attacked the saffron party over the recent Bulandshahr violence in which two people, including a Police Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh and a local youth, were allegedly attacked and killed by a violent mob.

Kejriwal had on Wednesday re-tweeted a purported video on the Bulandshahr violence, and sought to know whether the incident which took the lives of a policeman and a bystander was "staged" by the BJP. 

Responding to a question on the sidelines of an event at the Secretariat here, he said incidents similar to what happened in Bulandshahr were happening across the country.
