Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, out on bail to campaign for the ongoing election, strongly responded today to a Pakistani minister's comments about the Lok Sabha elections.

 

Arvind Kejriwal cast his vote today in the national capital, accompanied by his father, wife, and children. He also shared a photo on social media after casting his vote.

 

"My father, wife and both my children voted. My mother could not come today as she is very ill. I have voted against inflation and unemployment," Kejriwal posted.

 

मैंने अपने पिता, पत्नी और बच्चों के साथ आज वोट डाला। मेरी माता जी की तबियत बहुत ख़राब है। वो नहीं जा पाईं। मैंने तानाशाही, बेरोज़गारी और महंगाई के ख़िलाफ़ वोट डाला। आप भी वोट डालने ज़रूर जाएँ। pic.twitter.com/iCot3wOybH

Pakistan Minister Fawad Hussain - quoting Kejriwal's post - said, "May peace and harmony defeat forces of hate and extremism."

 

चौधरी साहिब, मैं और मेरे देश के लोग अपने मसलों को संभालने में पूरी तरह सक्षम हैं। आपके ट्वीट की ज़रूरत नहीं है। इस वक़्त पाकिस्तान के हालात बहुत ख़राब हैं। आप अपने देश को सँभालिये https://t.co/P4Li3y2gDQ

Responding to Hussain's post, Kejriwal said that instead of interfering in India's internal affairs, Hussain should focus on his country's poor state.

 

"We are fully capable of handling our issues. The situation of Pakistan is very poor now, and you should take care of your country," he said.

 

भारत में हो रहे चुनाव हमारा आंतरिक मामला है। अतंकवाद के सबसे बड़े प्रायोजकों का हस्तक्षेप भारत बर्दाश्त नहीं करेगा। https://t.co/gjAQpOBAP0

"Elections are our internal matter. India will not tolerate interference by the biggest sponsors of terrorism," Kejriwal said in another post.

 

Today, voting is taking place in eight seats each in Bihar and Bengal, seven in Delhi, 10 in Haryana, four in Jharkhand, 14 in Uttar Pradesh, and the final seat in Jammu & Kashmir -- Anantnag-Rajouri. The polling in Anantnag-Rajouri was rescheduled from the third phase to the sixth phase. 

 

The votes will be counted on June 4, after the final phase of the election ends on June 1.
