TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed on Wednesday that his party’s workers were attacked in Gujarat’s Junagadh district, and he had asked Chief Minister Vijay Rupani to ensure their safety and take action against the culprits.

While the Gujarat unit of the AAP alleged that the attackers were BJP workers, the ruling party denied it. A convoy of vehicles carrying AAP leaders Isudan Gadhvi, Pravin Ram, Mahesh Sawani and others was attacked on Wednesday evening in Junagadh where they had organized `Jan Samvedna Yatra’, the AAP said.

Its Gujarat unit chief Gopal Italia was also attacked, the party said. “BJP workers attacked AAP workers at Leriya village in Visavadar area of Junagadh district…they tried to stop AAP’s procession. A mob of more than 70 people from the ruling party attacked AAP leaders and workers in Junagadh. Local party leaders are reaching Visavadar police station to register FIR,” it said. The BJP denied the allegations.
