Will Kumar Vishwas be arrested for 'hate speech' against Kejriwal?

Will Kumar Vishwas be arrested for 'hate speech' against Kejriwal?

Will Kumar Vishwas be arrested for 'hate speech' against Kejriwal?
Kumar Vishwas has been at loggerheads with the AAP since he left the party.

Noted poet and former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas appears to be in hot water for his fiery statements regarding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal earlier this year. A police team visited his house this morning and served him with a summons to cooperate in the investigation, NDTV reported. The police have reportedly charged him on various counts.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • Kumar has been at loggerheads with AAP national convener ever since he left the party.
  • He had alleged that Kejriwal was "ready to take support" from Punjab-based fringe and separatist elements to become the chief minister of Delhi.
  • Soon thereafter, the Centre granted him 'Y' level security.
  • Meanwhile, opposition parties have accused the AAP of using the police for its political vendetta.
Accusation
What did Kumar Vishwas say?

"The Punjab police arrived at my doorstep early morning," Kumar tweeted, sharing some pictures of cops at his residence. "I am cautioning (Punjab Chief Minister) Bhagwant Mann, who I admitted into the party myself, that the person sitting in Delhi who you are letting play with the power given by the people of Punjab, will betray both you and Punjab one day," he added.

Twitter Post
Here is Vishwas's tweet in Hindi

सुबह-सुबह पंजाब पुलिस द्वार पर पधारी है।एक समय, मेरे द्वारा ही पार्टी में शामिल कराए गए @BhagwantMann को आगाह कर रहा हूँ कि तुम, दिल्ली में बैठे जिस आदमी को, पंजाब के लोगों की दी हुई ताक़त से खेलने दे रहे हो वो एक दिन तुम्हें व पंजाब को भी धोखा देगा।देश मेरी चेतावनी याद रखे🙏🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/yDymGxL1gi

Information
Ex-AAP leader Alka Lamba also booked

Reportedly, Congress leader Alka Lamba was also booked along with Vishwas. Lamba said on Twitter that the police had reached her house. Lamba was formerly associated with the AAP until September 2019.

Reactions
Police action invites political reactions

Meanwhile, the police action ignited a Twitter war, with both the BJP and the Congress condemning it and AAP leaders applauding it. Subhash Sharma, the BJP's General Secretary in Punjab, accused Kejriwal of manipulating the Punjab Police to settle personal grievances. Sukhpal Singh, a Congress MLA in Punjab, made similar remarks, questioning how is AAP different from other parties if it misuses the police.

Quote
What were Vishwas' remarks on Kejriwal?

"One day, (Kejriwal) told me he would either become the chief minister (of Punjab)...or the first prime minister of an independent nation (Khalistan)," Vishwas had said in an interview in February. Vishwas is a founding member of Kejriwal's AAP.

Kejriwal's reaction to Vishwas' allegations

The AAP had reacted angrily to the charges, denouncing them as "fake" and demanding that Vishwas provide proof to back up his claims. It had also threatened legal action then against news organizations that broadcast Vishwas' comments. Kejriwal, who has been assailed by both the Congress and the BJP, had also sought to shift focus toward his success as a Delhi administrator.
