Congress, BJP fire salvos at Kejriwal over media trial remarks

The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for reportedly calling for a 'public trial' of the media.

"The kind of words he has used against the media is unacceptable. He should choose his words before speaking," said Congress leader Jai Parkash Aggarwal.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi took to twitter to voice her disapproval over Kejriwal's words. "Delhi is wondering who they have voted4,I am sure Press 2 must be wondering who they have promoted,who r made by D media are exposed by it 2," she tweeted.

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal had alleged that a section of the media had tried to tarnish the image of the Aam Aadmi Party, calling for their 'public trial'. He also defended Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, who is accused of faking his Law degree, adding that the latter had provided him a 'satisfactory answer' when questioned over the validity of his degree.
