New Delhi: In the wake of an attack by a right wing Hindu outfit on the Aam Aadmi Party's headquarter in Kaushambhi, a plea has been filed in the Delhi High Court on Wednesday asking Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal not to refuse security cover.
A group of 30 to 40 people attacked the Aam Aadmi Party's office in Kaushambi on Wednesday, protesting against party leader Prashant Bhushan's comments on Kashmir. People smashed windows of the AAP office protesting against Bhushan.
"There were around 30 to 40 people. Just a minute before their arrival, we had closed the gates, otherwise it would have hurt us," said an AAP member.
The Hindu Rakshak Dal claimed responsibility for the attack with its activist Vishnu Gupta saying that Bhushan was a "traitor" and his comments on withdrawal of the Army from Jammu and Kashmir were "anti-national". "If such people are allowed to go scot-free for making such anti-national comments then our country will disintegrate. Withdrawing Army from Kashmir means giving it away to Pakistan," Gupta said.
The police have now said that they can't take the risk of not providing security to AAP. "We will provide security to this office now. Earlier they had refused security, now we can't risk it. We will have to give them security," said Indirapuram CO Ranvijay Singh.
This even as the Aam Aadmi Party on Monday distanced itself from the views of Prashant Bhushan that a referendum should be carried out in Kashmir to decide on deployment of the army to deal with security threats in the Valley.
