Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence was vandalized today by BJP youth wing workers over his earlier stand on The Kashmir Files. After the incident, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia took to Twitter and called the vandalism incident a ‘premeditated conspiracy’ and alleged that BJP is intending to “kill him” after it failed to defeat him.

The vandalism was triggered after Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of BJP, and Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga stood in protest of the Delhi CM today. According to the police, the protest involved about 150-200 workers who gathered outside Kejriwal’s residence at around 11:30 am and around 1 PM the protest escalated to vandalism.

The BJP heads were protesting Kejriwal’s stance on the film where the latter stated that the filmmakers were using the pain of Kashmiri Pandits as a source to earn money. Further, the Delhi CM had appealed the BJP leaders to not line up and put the posters of the film.
