Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress candidate for North East Delhi, was slapped by a youth while campaig💞ning for the Lok Sabha election on Friday. According to reports, two people have been arrested in connection with the inci🌠dent.
As per the viral video that showed the attack on Kanhaiya Ku🌳mar, 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.
Watch the video here:
"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 committ꧅ed a felony, then you must arrest me but circ🦩ulating fake videos and sending goons is not done," said Kanhaiya Kumar.
The incident ♐occurred when a crowd of AAP and Congress workers, along with councillors, were 𓂃escorting Kumar.
Chhaya 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 Man♑oj Tiwari in a meeting. When I rushed to protect Kanhaiya, they manhandled me and threatened to kill me and my husband.”
