Khadse should be booked for sedition: Kejriwal

June 05, 2016 13:36

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today demanded that former Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse should be booked for sedition for his alleged links with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

He also came out in support of withdrawal of the sedition charge against Patidar leader Hardik Patel, who is lodged in jail.

Kejriwal said that while Patel is not "guilty of sedition", Khadse, who is in the eye of a storm over allegations of corruption, including irregularities in a land deal, is. Khadse had resigned yesterday.

"Gujarat govt shud withdraw sedition charges against Hardik Patel. He is not guilty of sedition. Khadse is. Book khadse under sedition (sic)," the Aam Aadmi Party chief tweeted. This tweet comes at a time when the AAP has announced its plan to contest the assembly polls in Gujarat next year. BJP has been in power in the state for over a decade.
