AAP U’khand wing protests at BJP HQ against ‘insult’ to Bahuguna

New Delhi: The Uttarakhand wing of the AAP protested outside the BJP headquarters on Sunday against the alleged use of derogatory remarks against environmentalist and Chipko movement leader Sunderlal Bahuguna by a few BJP functionaries.CM Arvind Kejriwal had written to PM Narendra Modi on Saturday, requesting him to bestow Bharat Ratna on Bahuguna.In response, BJP spokesperson Naveen Kumar Jindal tweeted that Kejriwal mistook the Bharat Ratna as a packet of rewari and distributes it wherever he goes. Quoting the tweet, Kejriwal said BJP can hurl whatever abuses at him as it wants to, but its not right to say frivolous thing in the context of Bahuguna. “The leaders of BJP cannot think and process after CM Kejriwal installed a portrait and a statue of the great environmentalist in Delhi legislative assembly,” said AAP’s Uttarakhand wing president Brij Mohan Upreti.“BJP has insulted Uttarakhandis using unacceptable remarks against Shri Bahuguna (sic),” he added.
