 "Kejriwal punched at roadshow")
Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal was on Friday attacked by an unidentified person during a roadshow in the Dakshinpuri area of South Delhi. The former Delhi chief minister blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the assault.
When Kejriwal was shaking hands with supporters, a person punched Kejriwal on his back and even tried to slap him, said witnesses. The man was thrashed by AAP workers and handed over to the police.
"Some people are ready to go to any extent to become Prime Minister. Let them do whatever they are doing. Our religion teaches us non-violence. If we raise our hands, this movement will come to an end," Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal has been attacked a number of times in the past.
On March 28, he was attacked by a man, who claimed to be a supporter of anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, during his election rally in Haryana.
