Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday countered the BJP’s jibe at him of being a ‘terrorist,’ posting on Twitter a video of families of four martyrs praising his government’s scheme of Rs one crore aid to martyrs’ families.

In a three-minute-long clip, relatives of Delhi police officers, a firefighter and an assistant sub-inspector of police questioned how could Verma and Union home minister call AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal a terrorist when he is one who has been serving India selflessly.

Lauding Delhi government for giving “Rs 1 crore aid” to the kin of martyrs, the members said that their financial condition has improved after the monetary help. “Whatever worries we had after our son passed away, were taken care of by the government in the national capital,” an elderly couple said.

Another relative said, “No government can think about how the life of such families could change by extending a helping hand.” His statement is then seconded by kin of another martyr, who says that Kejriwal is a simple man who works selflessly for the people.

The video was posted on Twitter by Delhi CM himself, who urged people to listen to what the family members of slain officers had to say. The video received over 17,000 views in an hour.

It was BJP Lok Sabha MP Parvesh Verma who had called the Delhi Chief Minister a ‘terrorist’ on January 29, prompting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to protest outside the Election Commission’s office a day later, seeking an FIR against Verma.

Even as Parvesh Verma is under fire for calling Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal a “terrorist”, backing for the BJP MP’s statement came from none other than union minister Prakash Javadekar, who not only repeated the claim but also added that there was ‘plenty of evidence’ to prove it.

“Kejriwal is now asking with a sad face, ‘am I a terrorist?’ You are a terrorist and there is a lot of evidence to prove that. You yourself had said you are an anarchist. There is not much difference between an anarchist and a terrorist,” Javadekar said at a press conference.
