Panaji: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today got a "tongue lashing" from AAP over his comments on Arvind Kejriwal's throat surgery with the party saying he should concentrate on managing security affairs or make way for someone else in the key post.
The party, which has set its sight on taking on BJP in the next year's Assembly elections in Goa, demanded Mr Parrikar be removed as Defence Minister as he is "not concentrating" on looking after security issues.
"We urge Prime Minister Modiji to either ask Parrikar to concentrate on security of the nation or give this responsibility to someone else so that Parrikar could continue making comments on health issues of other individuals," Goa AAP Secretary Walmiki Naik said at a press conference here after 17 soldiers were martyred in a terrorist attack in Uri.
Mr Kejriwal recently underwent a tongue surgery.
Mr Naik said his party is deeply pained and shocked by the death of 17 soldiers in the Uri terror attack. "AAP salutes the jawans for their supreme sacrifice and expresses solidarity with their families," he added.
