“We Can Also Abuse, But We Are Hindus”: Arvind Kejriwal responds Over BJP leaders
Maharashtra BJP spokesperson Avdhut Wagh Friday abused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after which the Kejriwal reported to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “rein in the person whom you follow on Twitter”.
Insinuating on Twitter that Kejriwal is a “secret colonel of the Pakistan Army”, Wagh followed the label with another crass remark.
पाकिस्तानी सेना का एक सीक्रेट कर्नल भारत मे छिपकर पाकिस्तान के लिये काम कर रहा है..
नाम है “अल हरामी बिन कमीना मौहम्मद कंजरवाल खान”#ArvindKejriwal

In his tweet, Mr Wagh described Mr Kejriwal as a secret colonel of the Pakistani Army in India. He also used expletives for the Delhi Chief Minister.
Arvind Kejriwal hit back, addressing a tweet to Modi. “Prime Minister, you follow him (Wagh) on Twitter. He is your disciple and a BJP functionary,” he said.
“We can also hurl abuse but we are Hindus. Our Hindu culture doesn’t teach us to use abusive language,” he added.
प्रधान मंत्री जी। आप इसको ट्विटर पे फ़ॉलो करते हो। आपका चेला है। भाजपा का पदाधिकारी है।
गाली हमारे वाले भी दे सकते हैं। पर हम हिन्दू हैं।हमारी हिन्दू सभ्यता हमें गाली देना नहीं सिखाती। @narendramodi https://t.co/RYUpteOKnL

Mr Wagh’s description on his profile says that he is being followed by PM Modi on Twitter. “Spokesperson-Maharashtra BJP BE(Mech) MFM Engineer by Profession~Politician by Passion #RSS #Sawarkar #Shivaji followed by my living God @narendramodi ji,” it says.
AAP leader Preeti Sharma Menon called Mr Wagh’s comment an insult to democracy.”Mumbai police should take cognisance of Wagh’s bid to instigate hatred and violence and take action against him,” she was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.
This is not the first time Mr Kejriwal– a bitter critic of PM Modi– invoked religion to attack the BJP. Last year, he tweeted up a controversy by linking the death of a 38-year-old multinational executive, shot dead by an Uttar Pradesh policeman in Lucknow, with his religion in an attack on the ruling BJP.
“Why did they kill Vivek Tiwari, a Hindu? BJP leaders are freely raping women and getting away with it. Open your eyes to the fact that the BJP is not a well-wisher of Hindus. They will not think twice before murdering all Hindus to get to power,” he had tweeted in Hindi “No, even though Vivek Tiwari was a Hindu. BJP does not protect the interest of Hindus,” he added.
