Ghaziabad: Activists of a fringe right-wing group on Wednesday attacked and vandalised the Aam Aadmi Party headquarters in Kaushambi here protesting against the controversial remarks of its senior leader Prashant Bhushan on the presence of security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
Armed with sticks and bricks, about 40 activists of Hindu Raksha Dal stormed the AAP office near the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and broke the door panes and flower pots in its frontyard.
The attack drew charges and counter-charges with Kejriwal claiming that it was meant to kill him and Bhushan. Bhushan, a noted lawyer, who had stoked a controversy suggesting a referendum on the presence of security in the Kashmir valley, claimed that the BJP was “frustrated” with the mounting popularity of AAP and had incited one of its sister organisations in the attack.
By evening, Ghaziabad Police arrested national convenor of Hindu Raksha Dal Pinky Choudhary and 12 others in connection with the incident. (PTI)
