Kejriwal supported Khalistani movement says former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas

Former Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas has alleged that party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was supportive of the Khalistani movement to make electoral gains in poll-bound Punjab and once told him that he would become the prime minister of an independent nation.

“One day, he told me he would either become chief minister (of Punjab) or the first prime minister of an independent nation (Khalistan),” said Vishwas in a video tweeted by news agency ANI.

Kumar also said that when Kejriwal discussed the “idea” of coming to power in Punjab, he objected to it but the latter said there would not be any problem.

The allegation comes just three days before Punjab goes to polls to choose a new government in what is seen as a direct contest between the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party.
