Former Delhi CM Kejriwal protests against attack on AAP MLA Mahendra Goel. Sanjay Singh writes to CEC demanding suspension of Parliament SHO

The AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal was in Mangolpuri and Rithala assembly constituencies to campaign in favour of AAP’s candidates Rakesh Jatav” Dharamrakshak” and the sitting MLA Mahendra Goel. After campaigning in Mangolpuri assembly constituency drawing huge crowds and eliciting tremendous positive and encouraging response Kejriwal came to Rithala constituency in support of the injured candidate Mahendra Goel who was attacked by the saffron party goons at Japanese park this morning. The former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was amused and anguished to see injured Mahendra Goel coming on the wheel chair in the public meeting in acute pain under medication taking leave from the hospital where he was seeking medical treatment after being attacked. Arvind Kejriwal briefly narrated the incident saying that he was just coming back from a meeting in Rithala Vidhan Sabha. Our current MLA Mohinder Goyal is contesting elections from there. Today BJP people attacked him so badly that his condition was unbearable. He came on stage in a wheel chair. Do we want such hooliganism in Delhi? Aam Aadmi Party is a party of gentlemen. BJP is a party of goons. Do not hand over Delhi to goons. The entire incident was narrated in a social media post by the former AAP councillor from Rithala Harish Awasthi who was also campaigning peacefully in the morning hours in Sector 11 Park near Japanese park with the intent to meet the morning walkers etc with Mahendra Goel and his team. Both the current MLA Mahendra Singh Goyal and Awasthi were attacked by the goons of the BJP wearing masks seemingly of good health and height giving the impression of being bouncers or wrestlers wrote Harish Awasthi on his Facebook. Narrating the incident Awasthi wrote : In dozens of elections, I had been either the incharge of the elections or supported the candidates as the AAP leader. There were definitely direct or indirect wars with the opponents through words and arrows, but yesterday morning at 9:30 A.M. the local people invited us for tea in a small park in Sector 11 of Rohini, so eight-nine of us went there. After some time, some people came to the park wearing black masks on their faces and started pushing and punching the Aam Aadmi Party MLA. Everyone looked like wrestlers. Two of them were sons of Rakesh Rana/Tiger, who was very close to BJP candidate and former MLA Kulwant Rana. In such a situation, it became clear that all those goons must have been from the same village. MLA Shri Mahendra Goyal suffered serious injuries and foam started coming out of his mouth. We Immediately took him to the hospital. I also got hurt. I also fell due to the shock.
But we restarted the election campaign after 4 hours. I just reached home at 11.30 after giving my last speech wrote Harish Awasthi on his Facebook post.
