Journalist-turned-social activist Jarnail Singh, the AAP candidate who has been battling for justice for the Sikh community for many years, had lost all hopes of change till he met Arvind Kejriwal who restored his faith in the system.
"I had completely lost faith in the system but then it was Arvind Kejriwal who restored my faith that people are yearning for change," says Singh, who is contesting from West Delhi in the upcoming Lok sabha elections.
"People are fed up of the Congress and BJP and are looking for an alternative which we have offered to them", he said.
Singh, who came to limelight in 2009 after he tossed a shoe at P Chidambaram protesting against the clean chit given by the CBI to Congress leader HKL Bhagat and a Congress ticket to Sajjan Kumar, says he has no regret for what he had done but admits that he "violated the code of conduct as a journalist".
"I am not apologetic for what I did because after that incident, Congress cancelled its ticket to Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler. But then yes I admit that I had violated the code of conduct as a journalist," said Singh.
However, 41-year-old Singh feels he has been punished for what he had done as he lost his job and his career as a journalist.
"I have been punished for what I did. I lost my job, my PIB card was taken away, my journalism career got over, but then those people who killed more than 20,000 Sikhs in Delhi alone during this massacre have not yet been punished. They are still roaming free," he said.
