Kejriwal modern day freedom fighter, paid price for serving people: Delhi Minister Gahlot on I-Day
NEW DELHI: Delhi Home Minister Kailash Gahlot, who hoisted the national flag at the Chhatrasal stadium here on the 78th Independence Day, hailed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as a "freedom fighter" who has been "punished" for working for people.
Gahlot said he was distressed that an elected chief minister could not hoist the national flag because he is in jail.
"Standing under this flag, I can say proudly that Arvind Kejriwal is a modern day freedom fighter because he accepted the punishment to work for the people of Delhi by going to the jail, but did not bow down or break in front of the anti-democratic forces," he said.
