Maheish Girri performs Yoga outside Kejriwal's residence; continues hunger strike

Girri has been protesting outside Kejriwal's residence since Sunday, with relation to the M M Khan murder case

Sitting on a hunger strike outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence for over the last two days, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Maheish Girri on Tuesday did not miss out on participating in the second International Yoga Day celebrations.

Girri performed Yoga outside Kejriwal's residence where he has been protesting since Sunday evening.

Girri, who has been sitting on a hunger strike to prove his allegations regarding NDMC official M M Khan's murder, had yesterday alleged that the AAP supremo was putting baseless allegations on others to get rid of the corruption charges.

He however asked Kejriwal for a public debate on his allegations.

Kejriwal had earlier flatly refused Girri's demand of having an 'open debate' in the M M Khan's murder case.

"Is there an open debate in a murder case? Is this the criminal justice system of the BJP wherein they allow the accused of a murder case to sit in protest in front of Kejriwal's residence? I think this is the message of the Modi government that anyone who commits a crime by killing a person should come and sit in protest in front of Kejriwal's residence and then the big BJP leaders would come to support the accused," Kejriwal said.

He also used the occasion to train guns at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Government at the Centre, saying the NDA regime's criminal justice system allows a person to commit the crime and then sit in protest outside Kejriwal's residence.

Khan was shot dead in Jamia Nagar on May 16, a day before he was scheduled to pass the final order on the lease terms of a hotel which was functioning on a property leased out by the civic body.
