⛎Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress candidate for North East Delhi, was slapped by a youth while campaigning for the Lok Sabha election on Friday. According to reports, two people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
▨As per the viral video that showed the attack on Kanhaiya Kumar, a person can be heard saying "Kanhaiya pitne wala hai" (Kanhaiya is going to be beaten) before a youth in a black t-shirt approached Kumar on the pretext of garlanding him and slapped him.

🧜"There is a limit that must not be crossed, even when it comes to politics; you cannot attack a woman due to your political affiliations. I condemn this incident... we have voted for you (Tiwari) twice then you must uphold dignity in your position. If I have committed a felony, then you must arrest me but circulating fake videos and sending goons is not done," said Kanhaiya Kumar.
𓄧The incident occurred when a crowd of AAP and Congress workers, along with councillors, were escorting Kumar.
𒊎Chhaya Sharma, AAP councillor from Brahmpuri who hosted the meeting with Kumar, has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police. She alleged, “The person who did this was sitting next to Manoj Tiwari in a meeting. When I rushed to protect Kanhaiya, they manhandled me and threatened to kill me and my husband.”
