On AAP's fifth anniversary, Kejriwal his trains guns at BJP

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of dividing India on Hindu-Muslim lines and said it had done in three years what "Pakistan and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) could not do in 60 years."

"Pakistan's biggest dream is to divide Hindustan on the lines of Hindus and Muslims. Those who are dividing the country on the lines of Hindus and Muslims are ISI agents," the Aam Aadmi Party supremo said at the party's National Conference here.

"Under the veil of patriots, they are anti-nationals. They want to weaken the country. This dream has been harboured by Pakistan. What ISI could not do in 60 years, the BJP has done in three years," he said, asking voters in Gujarat to defeat the BJP.

Thousands of party workers participated in the conference at the Ramlila Maidan here, from where the India Against Corruption movement, led by Anna Hazare, had started in 2012, culminating in the formation of the AAP. The event drew participation from 22 states.

Talking about the December Gujarat elections, Kejriwal said: "I request the people of Gujarat to give your vote to the candidate or party who can defeat the BJP. If somewhere, the AAP is winning, give your vote to AAP. If any other party is winning, give the vote to them. But defeat the BJP."

On the occasion, AAP member Kumar Vishwas said the party had moved away from the path it set out on and has to find the right way forward.
