The Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday intensified its attack on Aam Aadmi Party and its Gujarat president Gopal Italia for remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother.
BJP made a frontal attack with protests in Delhi and also launching firebrand Union Minister Smriti Irani. Lashing out at Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal, Irani said that the CM was falling to new lows.
“With blessings of Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leadership in Gujarat maliciously attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 100-year-old mother. That Kejriwal could fall to new lows is not surprising…Her only crime is she gave birth to Narendra Modi. Your leaders and workers seek to punish and abuse her,” Irani told reporters here.
Earlier, in a Twitter post, Irani said, “Arvind Kejriwal, gutter mouth Gopal Italia now abuses Hira Ba with your blessings. I prefer no outrage, I do not want to show how indignant Gujaratis are but know this you have been judged and your party shall be decimated electorally in Gujarat. Now the people will deliver justice.”
An agitated Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha staged massive protest outside AAP Office here. The protest was led by the Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Delhi Pradesh BJP vice-presidents Rajan Tiwari and Virendra Sachdeva, state BJP Mahila morcha president Yogita Singh, morcha in-charge Barkha Singh and media co-head Harihar Raghuvanshi were among those also present.
 Addressing the workers, Shri Bidhuri said that Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo “Arvind Kejriwal did not even once express anger over the indecency of his workers and did not stop them from doing so. On the contrary, he is promoting Gopal Italia on social media”, he charged.
Italia was detained by the Delhi Police after he was summoned by the National Commission of Women (NCW) on Thursday. The NCW chief summoned Italia over a controversial video, in which he purportedly used derogatory language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A video of Italia had gone viral in which he is purportedly heard asking the women not to visit the temples and ‘kathas’ (sermons by Hindu priests) as they are “hubs of exploitation”. This comes days after he allegedly made a casteist remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in yet another viral video.
