โ€œHow Many Kashmiri Pandits Relocated By BJP In 8 Years?โ€ Questions Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday attacked the BJP for โ€œdoing politicsโ€ over Kashmiri Panditsโ€™ exodus, asking how many of them the party had been able to relocate to the valley.

He also once again suggested that the film, โ€˜The Kashmir Filesโ€™, should be uploaded on YouTube and that proceeds earned from it so far should be spent on the welfare of Kashmiri Pandits.

โ€œWas a single Kashmiri Pandit family relocated to valley by BJP in last 8 years?โ€ Mr Kejriwal asked the BJP.

โ€œBJP is doing politics over the issue. We demand โ€˜The Kashmir Filesโ€™ film to be uploaded on YouTube. The money earned from it should be spent on welfare of Kashmiri Pandits,โ€ he said during the post-budget press conference.

The suggestion was first made by him on Thursday, when during an assembly session he criticised the move of making the film tax-free, and suggested the filmmaker to just upload it on YouTube for all to see free of cost.

โ€œTreatment For Injuryโ€: Delhi Dy CM Manish Sisodia On Satyendar Jainโ€™s Viral Massage Video

ANI
Manish Sisodia arrested

After facing criticism as videos of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jain went viral, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday refuted the allegations levelled against Jain and termed the CCTV footages a โ€œtreatment for injuryโ€.

New Delhi:  After facing criticism as videos of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jain went viral, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday refuted the allegations levelled against Jain and termed the CCTV footages a โ€œtreatment for injuryโ€.

The Delhi deputy chief minister claimed that the doctor had asked the minister to take physiotherapy because of a spinal injury. โ€œOnly BJP can make cruel jokes by leaking CCTV footage of an injured personโ€™s treatmentโ€ฆ His (Satyendar Jainโ€™s) spine was damaged, itโ€™s on record,โ€ said Sisodia while speaking to the media on Saturday.

A CCTV video of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jail emerged on social media on Saturday morning โ€“ two days after demands to shift the minister from the prison were raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The purported CCTV footage dated September 13 shows the minister lying on his bed and reading some papers while a man sitting next to him is seen massaging his foot.

In another video, shared by BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on his official Twitter handle, a man is massaging the Delhi ministerโ€™s legs and back before proceeding to give him a full head massage.

โ€œSo instead of Sazaa โ€“ Satyendar Jain was getting full VVIP Mazaa? Massage inside Tihar Jail? Hawalabaaz who hasnโ€™t got bail for 5 months get a head massage! Violation of rules in a jail run by AAP Govt,โ€ Poonawalla tweeted along with a video.

โ€œThis is how official position abused for Vasooli and massage thanks to Kejriwal,โ€ he added.
The videos surfaced on social media on Saturday, around 10 days after the ED accused Delhi minister Jain, who was arrested in a money laundering case, of getting special treatment inside the Tihar jail.

โ€œUnknown persons gave massages and foot massages to Mr Jain, even beyond curfew hours. He was given special food,โ€ the ED had said in the court. Soon after this, the Superintendent of Delhiโ€™s Tihar jail, Ajit Kumar, was also suspended for the alleged VIP treatment of jailed Delhi minister.

The minister, Jain, was arrested and has been in jail since June in connection with a money laundering case, and a Delhi court also denied his bail application on Thursday.
BJPโ€™s spokesman Gaurav Bhatia called the minister a thug and criticized the AAP government for not responding to the videos.

โ€œThe โ€˜kattar beimaanโ€™ thug is taking a massage in jail by violating laws. Heโ€™s been jailed for 5 months now but has still not been sacked as a minister. The video shows VVIP culture. Weโ€™re asking you questions after seeing the video, Arvind Kejriwal where are you hiding?โ€ BJP spokesman Gaurav Bhatia said in a press conference.

He alleged that corruption is rampant in the Aam Aadmi Party.
Several BJP leaders shared the CCTV videos and criticized the Delhi minister and the AAP government.
