DANGEROUS ATTACK ON DELHI CM

“Even the Chief Minister is not safe in Delhi.”

DETAILS:-
Kejriwal was leaving home for lunch when a middle-aged man bowed before him, claiming he has some grievances. Within seconds, he hurled chilli powder at the CM around 2.30 pm.

In a major security breach, a sachet of chilli powder was thrown at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday outside his chamber in Delhi Secretariat. The Aam Aadmi Party has described the attack as “politically motivated” while asserting that the BJP is hatching a conspiracy in collusion with Delhi Police to attack the chief minister.
Kejriwal was leaving home for lunch when a middle-aged man bowed before him, claiming he has some grievances. Within seconds, he hurled chilli powder at the CM around 2.30 pm. The man, identified as Anil Sharma, a resident of Narayana, has been detained. Sharma, whose Aadhaar card has been recovered, brought the chilli powder to the secretariat in packets of ‘khaini’, or chewing tobacco, PTI said quoting officials. After throwing red pepper powder on Kejriwal, Sharma threatened to shoot him after he comes out of jail, an official recounted.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said his party would not be “cowed down” by these “petty tactics” by the BJP. Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, on the other hand, said such incidents “cannot be tolerated or justified by anybody” and called for a high-level probe.

Condemning the attack, the AAP said it was a “serious security lapse” from the Delhi Police. In a tweet, the party said “even the Chief Minister is not safe in Delhi.”
Spokesperson of the party Raghav Chadha said he was standing behind Kejriwal when the attack took place and even though “just the CM’s glasses fell to the floor and broke, (it was) an unacceptable security lapse nonetheless.”
“Imagine if attacker were to be wielding a more dangerous weapon. Who were to have prevented a tragedy from occurring?” he asked

As a chief minister, Kejriwal enjoys Z-plus security with 25 policemen guarding him round-the-clock.
According to PTI, officials close to Kejriwal accused the Delhi Police of being lax in providing him security and alleged that this was the third attempt to harm him in less than a month. The AAP alleged that water bottles were thrown at Kejriwal by Tiwari at the inauguration ceremony of Signature Bridge earlier this month.
