BJP activists burnt an effigy of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for "seeking proof" of the army's surgical strikes across the LoC here today.

Scores of BJP activists, led by the party's district chief, Rakesh Bhatia, and former chief parliamentary secretary Jagdish Sahni, took out a protest march in the town and held a demonstration at Gandhi Chowk where they burnt the effigy of the AAP leader.

The protesters accused Kejriwal of acting as "Pakistan's puppet" and a "spokesman" of that country.

They said while every Indian was feeling proud over the army's action on terror launchpads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), "black sheep" like Kejriwal were "playing politics" over the sensitive issue by seeking proof of it.
 

They also demanded slapping of sedition charges on the Delhi chief minister.

A day after Kejriwal released a video message "saluting" the prime minister for the surgical strikes and urging him to "unmask" Pakistan's propaganda, the BJP on Tuesday had alleged that his remarks amounted to "seeking proof" of the army action.
