New Delhi: Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Avtar Singh Kalka has accused the party's national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal of being anti-Punjab Punjabi. He said the people of Punjab cannot trust Kejriwal. The former MLA urged people to support the Samyukta Samaj Morcha (SKM) in Punjab.

He also handed over letters of support to SKM leaders on the occasion. Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Kalka said there were 1,400 Punjabi teachers in Delhi schools before the Kejriwal government came to power in Delhi. But now, there are only 450, he said, adding that punjabi was made an additional subject in 2016. In 2017, CM Kejriwal had promised that 800 Punjabi teachers would be recruited, but only 40 teachers were recruited.

Former MLA Avtar Singh has made this allegation against the AAP at a time when Kejriwal is presenting his Delhi model in the Punjab elections. Kalka further said that in 2017, Kejriwal promised to set up a Punjabi chair in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) but did not give a single penny for it. Avtar Singh said Kejriwal had initially expressed the possibility of standing with the victims of the November 1984 massacre for political gains, but now he has inducted former Punjab Congress president HS Hanspal. HS Hanspal was once facing allegations of trying to manage witnesses in favour of former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar.
