Arvind Kejriwal: "Killed Muslims, Dalits now attacking our childrens"

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday it was imperative to speak against the forces that "killed Muslims and burnt Dalits" and are now "intruding into our homes, coming after our children" as he condemned the attack on a school bus by a mob protesting the release of Padmaavat in Gurgaon.

Kejriwal said people "cannot afford to remain silent anymore" as they were when people were targeted in the country on the basis of their religion and caste in the past.

"I appeal to everyone ... Today, they have started pelting our children with stones, have started intruding into our homes. Don't remain silent now, speak up," he said during an event to celebrate Republic Day at north Delhi's Chhatrasal Stadium.

Students of a private school had a narrow escape when protesters attacked two buses in Gurgaon on Wednesday allegedly protesting against the controversial period drama about the legendary Rajput queen Padmini.
