Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, expressed his disapproval towards former Pakistan minister, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain's statement calling for the defeat of "forces of hate and extremism" in India's Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal emphasized that the elections are India's internal matter and any interference from the "biggest sponsors of terrorism" will not be tolerated.
This statement came amid the sixth phase of the seven-phase elections, where 58 parliamentary constituencies, including seven in Delhi, went to polls on Saturday. After casting his vote, Kejriwal, who is also the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), shared a picture on social media with his family members showing their inked fingers. He stated that he voted against "dictatorship, inflation, and unemployment."
Hussain, on the other hand, shared Kejriwal's post on social media with the hashtags "MorePower" and "IndiaElection2024," and wished for peace and harmony to defeat the forces of hate and extremism. However, Kejriwal immediately responded to his post, stating that the people of India are fully capable of handling their own issues, and his comment was unnecessary. He further added that the situation in Pakistan is currently very unstable, and Hussain should focus on his own country instead.
Undeterred by Kejriwal's remark, Hussain responded by saying that extremism is a borderless issue and dangerous for all countries, including Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. He urged individuals to strive for a better society, regardless of their location.
However, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) took a dig at Kejriwal, claiming that his politics of corruption has also gained the support of Pakistan. Delhi BJP president, Virendra Sachdeva, stated that his party has been warning about Kejriwal's close association with the country's enemies. He pointed out that Hussain's statement came at a time when polls are being held in Delhi, after five phases have already been completed, indicating that Kejriwal has the backing of Pakistan.
This is not the first time that Chaudhry Fawad Hussain has made controversial comments. He is infamous for boasting about Pakistan's involvement in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack and has also recently stirred up controversy by sharing excerpts from a speech by Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, with the caption "Rahul on fire." Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticized Gandhi and the Congress, claiming that Pakistan is desperate to make him the next prime minister.
In conclusion, Kejriwal's strong stance against external interference in India's internal matters and his vocal opposition towards extremism and terrorism have sparked heated debates among political parties. It remains to be seen how this will affect the outcome of the remaining phases of the elections and the future of Indian politics.
