How am I a terrorist, asks Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal hits out at BJP for calling him a terrorist

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at the BJP on Wednesday after being repeatedly labelled a "terrorist" in an outrageous verbal assault by Lok Sabha MP Parvesh Verma at an election rally in West Delhi last week.

In an emotional Twitter post, Arvind Kejriwal said "after working hard, day and night, for Delhi for five years... in return BJP is calling me a terrorist. I am very sad".

Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has written to Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer - who has yet to forward the complaint to the Election Commission - and demanded that an FIR (first information report) be registered against Mr Verma, who is already under investigation by the Election Commission for claiming Shaheen Bagh's anti-citizenship law protesters "will rape your sisters, daughters".
