The Delhi CM was called out for spreading rumours.
The demonetization move has really irked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal who has been venting his anger in speeches, in the Delhi Assembly and on social media. At a time when the public is rather worried about the entire process, Kejriwal has acted rather bizarrely by sometimes even retweeting unverified information from his official handle. On Sunday, the Delhi CM retweeted a misleading photograph and a caption that supposedly showed a man committing suicide because of demonetization.
The Delhi CM claimed that the man had hung himself because he wasn’t able to withdraw money but the picture was actually of a thief who had hung himself in Satna in Madhya Pradesh after he was surrounded by policeman. The man had come to rob the bank and he committed suicide when he realised he couldn’t escape. Later, he also retweeted a picture of Syrian refugee children which he claimed were found at the train accident site near Kanpur. The individual who had shared the story deleted the tweet and then deactivated his Twitter account.
A couple of days earlier, the Delhi CM had lashed out at a BBC journalist for disagreeing with him about link between demonetization and deaths. Many individuals on Twitter called out Kejriwal, including BJP MP and Minister of State (MoS) Giriraj Singh.
Earlier, Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha had tweeted a picture of a ‘long line’ which had turned out to be a picture from the 2013 Kenya elections. Perhaps, at a times like this, when people are so worried, our leaders would do well not to spread malicious rumours just because of their political differences.
AAP to march against demonetization
Stepping up its attack on the Centre over the demonetisation exercise, AAP, led by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, will take out a protest march to the Parliament tomorrow, which will also see participation from other ministers of the Delhi government. Alleging that the demonetisation drive by the Narendra Modi government was a "scam", AAP leader Ashish Khetan said common people were suffering while the loans of big industrialists were being waived off. "We will be a undertaking Sansad March tomorrow under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia," Khetan said. Chief Minister and AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, who has been a strong voice against the demonetisation measure, is currently in Punjab. Apart from party leaders, Delhi ministers will also join the march.
