Kejriwal snubs Vishwas, attends iftar with Amanatullah

June 15, 2017 21:24

In a clear snub to senior AAP leader Kumar Vishwas, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today attended an iftar party, which was primarily organised by the party's Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan.

Khan, who was suspended from the party to pacify Vishwas, ushered Kejriwal to the event, held on the lawns of the Jamia Milia Islamia University, which falls under the Okhla constituency that the former represents.

Abdul Wajid Khan, party's councillor from ward no 102 of the South MCD was also present at the event, along with party supporters. The event was organised by the AAP's Okhla unit.

"Fundamentalist forces are rearing their heads in the country. I hope they are defeated and people of all communities live in peace and amity," Kejriwal said in an address to the gathering.

Both, Kejriwal and Khan left the venue in the same car, parrying questions by the media on whether it should be considered a signal to Vishwas, who has publicly differed with the AAP leadership over several issues in the recent months.
