Wishing "all" on the occasion of Women's Day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "urging" him to "unfollow" those who threaten and abuse women online. "Happy women's day to all. On this day, I urge Hon'ble PM to unfollow all those who abuse n threaten women n take strong action against them," Kejriwal tweeted. Last month, Delhi University student Gurmehar Kaur was threatened with rape after she posted a message on social media following the Ramjas College ruckus that saw clashes between RSS-backed ABVP and Left-affiliated AISA.
The AAP had attacked Modi for "following" those on Twitter, who allegedly abused women. Some women leaders of the party had then asked the PM to "unfollow" them. TMC's Rajya Sabha MP Dereck O'Brien retweeted the Kejriwa's tweet. "Made the same request last month in #Parliament Maybe he will heed a CMs request (sic)," O'Brien wrote retweeting the tweet.
However, others felt that Kejriwal was ‘obsessed’ with the PM with some Twitterati criticising Kejriwal for having ministers like Somnath Bharti in the party or being backed by people like Raghu Ram and Mika Singh.

Says a person who gives "compromise kar lo" as solution when a woman complains to him that his party workers are sexually exploiting her. https://t.co/9o9sYXPNFn
