Kejriwal launches fresh offensive

Stepping up attack on the Central government over JNU row, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said opposing BJP and RSS is the “biggest” crime under the present dispensation and accused it failing to act against its sympathisers who indulge in criminal activities.

“Centre’s new IPC — it’s not a crime to murder, rape or beat anyone if u r from BJP. Being opposed to BJP n RSS is biggest crime now (sic),” Kejriwal tweeted. In his another tweet, the Delhi Chief Minister said: “Centre’s new IPC — rape, murder or beat anyone. When questioned, just say that victim was shouting anti-India slogans, u will be let off.” Though he did not name anyone, he was apparently referring to Centre’s alleged inaction against BJP legislator O P Sharma and the lawyers who were caught on-camera beating people outside Patiala House Courts complex where hearing of Kanhaiya took place on Monday. Besides the Left Front and Congress, the AAP too has been targeting the Centre over the JNU episode.
