Bengaluru BJP Yuva Morcha president Tejasvi Surya said on Wednesday that he wants Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to make an “unconditional apology” for his remarks about “The Kashmir Files” and Kashmiri pandits. The protests will go on until he does, he said.
Outside the Delhi CM’s house, the head of the party’s youth group spoke to the press. “We protested because Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the Vidhan Sabha made fun of Kashmiri Pandits’ deaths.”

“We want an unconditional apology from Kejriwal, and until he does, our protests will go on,” Mr Surya said.
He added that “Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP have always been anti-India and against Hinduism.” They have mocked the Ram temple, mocked the Hindu gods, raised questions about the Batla House encounter and the “surgical strike” in Pakistan.
It has always been part of the AAP’s strategy to do things bad for India and bad for Hindus. The BJP leader said that Kejriwal always lies to get what he wants in politics, and he does this all the time.
Further, he said, “He is calling us “BJP goons,” but our protest was against Arvind Kejriwal’s statement. In our anger, we show the anger of the country.
We wanted to go there and meet him, but he said no. We wanted to show our anger legally, but in a peaceful way.”
“Police tried to stop us from going. It was used on workers of BJP Yuva Morcha. After they crossed the barricade, they wanted to meet him in a democratic and constitutional way, so they used a water cannon “he said more.
When AAP deputy chief Manish Sisodia said that, Mr Surya said, “I don’t agree with him.”
“The people have sent the people you are calling goons to Parliament, and they are there now. In our country, we don’t do things like that. We haven’t gone to the assembly like you and laughed at the blood of any society. I want him to take back this statement.”
