Delhi BJP condemns attack, AAP blames them

The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was on Tuesday, attacked by a man identified as Anil Kumar (40) with chilli powder inside the Delhi Secretariat. Reacting to the incident, Bhartiya Janta Party's state head of Delhi, Manoj Tiwari, condemned the attack and termed it as intolerable and unjustified step.

The suspect identified as Anil Kumar Sharma was caught by police personnel. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) called it a breach of security of the Chief Minister.

A person needs to go through a two-level security check to reach the Chief Minister's office.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) described the act as being "politically motivated".

The Delhi BJP chief said such incidents "cannot be tolerated or justified by anybody".

"This calls for a high-level probe," Tiwari said.

While AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj accused the BJP, leader of Delhi unit Manoj Tiwari condemned the attack and called for a "high-level" probe.

According to Bhardwaj, the attack happened at the chief minister's office, which is a "high-security" zone. He said it was a serious matter and termed the attack "politically motivated".

"The BJP is behind the attack and the accused are being aided by the Modi government," Bhardwaj alleged.
