Shazia Ilmi chose wrong words: Kejriwal

Varanasi: Amid increasing criticism of Shazia Ilmi's controversial remarks, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal today said she chose the wrong words and did not mean to trigger hatred among communities for electoral benefit.  He, however, condemned

“Don't be much secular.

Muslims are too secular and they should become communal. They are not communal and do not vote for themselves. Arvind Kejriwal is ours.

Muslims have remained secular for long....have voted for the Congress and helped them win. Don't be so secular and look at your house (community) this time.

“Other parties have their votebank intact and Muslim votes split. This is a controversial statement, but we should look at our own interest,” Ilmi had said in a video that surfaced on Tuesday.
