Don't think there have been such attacks on any chief minister in nation's history: Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday reacted on being attacked by a man on Saturday and said that the attack indicated that whoever speaks against PM Modi will not be spared.
Kejriwal's remarks came just a day after he was slapped by a man, who was later identified as an AAP supporter, in Delhi during a roadshow.
"This is a sign of dictatorship, to silence those who raise voice against you. This attacker was sent to give out the message that no one, who raises voice against the PM, will be spared," Kejriwal said.
"This was the 9th attack on me in the last 5 years and the fifth attack after becoming the CM. I don't think in India's history there have been such attacks on any CM. In this country, Delhi CM is the only CM whose security's responsibility is in the hands of the opposition party that is BJP," he added.
An AAP supporter slapped Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during a roadshow on Saturday because he was dissatisfied with the behaviour of the party leaders, police said.

Kejriwal was atop an open jeep when a man wearing a red t-shirt jumped onto the vehicle and slapped the chief minister before being pulled off the jeep, news agency PTI reported.
The 33-year-old man, identified as Suresh, who is a scrap dealer in the area, has been a supporter of the Aam Aadmi Party and used to work as an organiser of the party's rallies and meetings, they said.
"An enquiry by a DCP-level officer has been ordered to enquire as to how this person was allowed to be in the reception or proximate group," Anil Mittal, Additional PRO (Delhi Police) said.
According to his version, over a period of time, Suresh got disenchanted due to the behaviour of the AAP leaders. His anger intensified due to "distrust of the party in the armed forces", the official said, adding further interrogation is on in the matter.
The AAP, however, alleged that the Delhi Police had planted that the man belonged to the party.
The AAP roadshow was organised from 4 pm to 10 pm in Moti Nagar. It was scheduled to start from Karampura and was to terminate at RK Ashram Marg, it said.
