AAP`s Kumar Vishwas shown black flags ahead of Amethi rally today

Lucknow: Black flags were shown to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas ahead of his `Janviswas Rally` in Amethi on Sunday.

“All this is orchestrated,” AAP leader reportedly said. The black flags were shown to Vishwas over his remarks on Hazrat Imam Hussain while he was crossing Jagdishpur today. His effigy was also burnt by the protesters, Stones and eggs were also reportedly thrown at the buses in which AAP supporters were travelling to the venue. The AAP leader is set to address a public rally in Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi`s parliamentary constituency Amethi today. The press conference by Kumar Vishwas on Saturday was briefly disrupted by a youth, identified as Saif Jafari, who threw an egg and raised slogans against the poet-turned politician. As the press meet started, Jafari threw an egg towards Vishwas and waived a paper stating that Vishwas had hurt religious sentiments of both majority and minority communities and it "will not be tolerated". Jafari, a native of Bijnore, was later nabbed by the AAP workers and handed over to the police.  Vishwas has already apologised about his controversial comment.
