Patil slams Kejriwal as AAP office bearer opines that demanding Khalistan is constitutional right

Gandhinagar: CR Patil, president of ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and termed him dangerous for security of the nation. Patil slammed Kejriwal for giving responsibility to the persons with Khalistani mentality in AAP, who opine that demanding Khalistan is their constitutional right.

Patil’s barb was in connection with a tweet by Harpreet Singh Bedi in which Bedi said: According to the constitution Sikh can demand for Khalistan. Harpreet Singh Bedi is State president of Himachal Pradesh unit of Aam Admi Party (AAP) for social media.

Many Twitter users have pointed out Harpreet Singh Bedi’s Twitter presence, which included Pro-Khalistani quotes, replies and tweets from his handle since 2012.

On February 16, during an interview with news agency ANI, former Aam Aadmi Party leader and poet Dr Kumar Vishwas called out Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal for extending support to separatists. He said that at one point, Kejriwal claimed he would either become Chief Minister of Punjab or will become first Prime Minister of an independent nation (Khalistan).

Meanwhile Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in a damage control mode has expelled Harpreet Singh Bedi after his tweets went viral. Distancing themselves from Bedi, the official AAP Himachal Pradesh handle tweeted, “Views expressed by Harpreet Singh Bedi in his tweets are against Aam Aadmi Party’s ideology & do not represent the opinion of the party in any way.”
