Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘vipassana’ (meditation) trip to Punjab’s Hoshiarpur created buzz in the political circles, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticising him for surrounding self with a massive cavalcade.
am Aadmi Party (AAP) Arvind Kejriwal is currently in Punjab to attend a 10-day Vipassana meditation camp. The former Delhi Chief Minister was, however, criticised for his massive cavalcade, with AAP MP Swati Maliwal taking a sarcastic dig, saying the convoy was “bigger than Donald Trump’s”.
Kejriwal and his wife Sunita will attend the meditation course at the Dhamma Dhaja Vipassana Centre near Hoshiarpur, slated to commence on Wednesday.
Also criticising the former Chief Minister, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa asked, “What kind of Vipassana requires a grand security parade funded by Punjab taxpayers?”
“Arvind Kejriwal, who once pretended to be a common man in a WagonR, now moves in a lavish convoy of bulletproof Land Cruisers, over 100 Punjab Police commandos, jammers and ambulances like a VIP Maharaja all for Vipassana, a retreat meant for peace,” he tweeted.
The criticism of Kejriwal was due to the size of his cavalcade. According to a report by India Today, the AAP chief was accompanied by the cavalcade, which included more than 100 Punjab Police personnel and bulletproof vehicles.
Kejriwal and his wife arrived at the Forest Rest House in Chohal, about 14 km from Hoshiarpur, late Tuesday night. From there, they travelled to the centre in Anandgarh, near Mehlanwali in the Hoshiarpur district.
