New Delhi : The Congress Thursday indicated disapproval of Law Minister Salman Khurshid’s remarks daring activist Arvind Kejriwal to protest in his constituency Farrukhabad over alleged misappropriation of funds by an NGO he headed.
Asked about Khurshid’s controversial remarks, Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi said everyone should choose words carefully.
Addressing a meeting in Farrukhabad Tuesday, Khurshid said: “I was told work with a pen and was made a law minister… I will work with a pen, but also with blood.”
Referring to Kejriwal’s threat to campaign against him in Farrukhabad, the minister told his cheering supporters: “Let him come to Farrukhabad, and let us see how he returns.”
Khurshid’s remarks were interpreted as a murder threat by the activist who retorted that he will go to Farrukhabad and return safely.
