'Mr. Modi, This Country Does Not Belong To Your Father, Stop Issuing Threats': Arvind Kejriwal Attacks PM Amid CJP Protest Row

AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the police action against CJP protesters during the Parliament march in Delhi, accusing the Centre of threatening citizens instead of addressing their concerns.

In a strongly worded post on X, Kejriwal wrote, "Mr. Modi, this country does not belong to your father. Stop issuing threats, or else the people of the country will teach you such a lesson that history will remember what happened to a dictator."

The AAP chief's remarks came a day after clashes erupted between security personnel and CJP protesters marching towards Parliament. Protesters alleged that police resorted to a lathi-charge against students demonstrating over alleged exam paper leaks, evaluation irregularities, and demands for reforms in recruitment and competitive examination systems, including NEET.
