The Hindu
Amid threat reports, Arvind Kejriwal remains confident in divine protection, as authorities review security arrangements.
Amid intelligence reports that a pro-Khalistan group is plotting an attack against AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, the former Delhi Chief Minister said on Wednesday (January 15, 2025) that "God will save him" and he is destined to live as long as his "lifeline" allows.
Addressing reporters after filing his nomination for the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls from the New Delhi seat, Mr. Kejriwal responded to a question on the alleged threat to his life, saying "uparwala bachayega...."
Before filing his nomination, Mr. Kejriwal offered prayers at the Prachin Hanuman temple at Connaught Place and told reporters, "Jako Rakhe Saiyan Mar Sake Na Koye (those protected by God cannot be killed by anyone). God is with me."
"One lives as long as his lifeline allows. The day one's lifeline ends, God calls him up," he said when asked about the reported threat to him from a pro-Khalistan outfit.
Sources in the Delhi Police said they will review Mr. Kejriwal's security arrangements as there is speculation regarding a threat to his life.
Intelligence reports indicate that a hit squad of two to three operatives, last tracked in Punjab, may be en route to Delhi to target Mr. Kejriwal during the upcoming Assembly polls in the capital, the sources said.
"This is based on human intelligence and further details are being investigated," one of the sources added.
