Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal lambasted the Parkash Singh Badal-led SAD-BJP government on Sunday for hatching a deep rooted conspiracy to malign his party in the desecration of the holy Quran.
“From June 24 onwards, the Punjab police kept saying that the holy Quran was desecrated by the members of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) but on July 2, suddenly, they began to accuse the AAP for the same. It was done with an intention to scuttle my three-day visit to Punjab which was to begin from July 3,” Mr Kejriwal said while addressing a large gathering of people at Ranjit avenue in Amritsar.
Mr Kejriwal said first he was of the opinion that he should not bring up the topic of Quran on the occasion when the youth manifesto of the AAP was being released. “But then I thought it was extremely important to expose the obnoxious face of the SAD-BJP government which wanted to derail my visit even at the cost of the desecration incident,” he said.
Mr Kejriwal said he was more saddened to know that the Badal government tried to malign his party by accusing the AAP of desecrating the Quran.
“There are hundreds of other ways to malign us. But why they had to tear the pages of holy Quran to give design to their nefarious intentions,” said Mr Kejriwal.
