'No place for violence': Arvind Kejriwal condemns attack on Delhi CM Rekha Gupta

Kejriwal said, "The attack on Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is highly condemnable. In a democratic system, differences of opinion and opposition are acceptable, but there can be no place for violence.

"I am confident that the Delhi Police will take appropriate action. I hope the Chief Minister is completely safe and healthy."

Gupta was "slapped" and "pulled by hair" at the 'Jan Sunwai' programme, eyewitnesses said.

The doctors have attended the Chief Minister who is now doing well.

The accused has been identified as 42-year-old Rajesh Bhai Khimji Bhai Sakariya, who was immediately detained.

Rajesh, who has been arrested, is a resident of Rajkot.

Speaking of the incident, Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president said as quoted by The Hindu, "During the Jan Sunwai this morning, the Chief Minister was speaking with the public, as she always does.

"A man approached her, presented some paper and suddenly held her hand while trying to pull her towards him. During this, there was some jostling. People nabbed him. Who he is, and all other details, are being investigated by the Police."

"The CM is stable. Doctors have examined her... It seems that she suffered a light blow to her head. The slap or stone-throwing stories are fabricated," he added.
