Modi also my PM, Pakistan cannot interfere in our elections: Kejriwal defends PM against Pak minister's attack

In a reply to Fawad Hussain's remarks in which the Pakistani minister ridiculed PM Modi, Kejriwal has said Narendra Modi is India's Prime Minister and also his Prime Minister.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attacked Pakistani minister Chaudhary Fawad Hussain known for his comments on India and said that the Delhi elections are an internal matter and PM Modi is also his PM, so he would not tolerate any attack on the Prime Minister.

In a reply to Fawad Hussain's remarks in which the Pakistani minister ridiculed PM Modi, Kejriwal has said, "Narendra Modi Ji is India's Prime Minister. He is also my Prime Minister. Delhi elections are an internal matter for India and we will not tolerate interference of the biggest organiser of terrorism in this."

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief also said, "No matter how Pakistan tries, they can do no harm to India's unity."

Reacting to PM Modi's recent comment that India can defeat Pakistan in a war within a week's time, Fawad Hussain said, "People of India must defeat #Modimadness. Under pressure to lose another State Elections (Delhi on Feb 8th), he resorts to ridiculous claims and threats endangering Region, Mr Modi has lost balance after internal and external reaction to Kashmir, Citizenship laws and failing economy (sic)".

In one of the first such reaction to defend his staunch critic and archrival for the Delhi elections, Kejriwal launched himself in a vehement defence of PM Modi against the Pakistani minister.

This comes even as PM Modi and Kejriwal have been at loggerheads over the campaigning during Delhi elections where the BJP has pitched PM Modi as the party's face against AAP.

Delhi elections on February 8 will witness a high-voltage contest between the incumbent AAP and BJP, which had barely won 3 seats in the previous assembly elections in 2015.
