Hitting out at the BJP and the UP government over the killing of Vivek Tiwari, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said that "BJP doesn't protect the interests of Hindus".

In a tweet, Kejriwal said that BJP can do anything to be in power.

Here's a rough translation of Kejriwal's tweet - Vivek Tiwari was a Hindu, right? Then why was he killed? BJP leaders rape Hindu girls across the country? Don't be blindfolded. BJP doesn't favour Hindus. If they have to murder all Hindus for power, they won't think twice.

Responding to Kejriwal's tweet, former AAP leader Kapil Mishra said that Kejriwal's statement will stir up the feeling of communalism.

Here's a rough translation of Kapil Mishra's tweet - This language - A Hindu was killed, Hindu girls were raped, Hindus were murdered - will burn the country. What will you get out of this? Power? Money? Prize? You've become mad protesting against Modi and BJP. Get yourself checked.

BJP MP ManojTiwari also hit out at Kejriwal over the tweet. Manoj Tiwar reiterated that the BJP and the UP Police are standing in support of Vivek Tiwari's family.

Vivek Tiwari, the area general manager of Apple, was shot dead by personnel of the Uttar Pradesh Police -- allegedly for not stopping his car when asked by the cops -- at Gomti Nagar in Lucknow.

The Yogi Adityanath government agreed to a CBI probe into Tiwari's death. DGP of Police, OP Sigh, speaking to the media, said that an SIT has been constituted to investigate the case.

"No amount of apology will suffice for the loss...[and] heal the wounds of the devastated family. Such deviant, criminal behaviour is reprehensible and deserves the strictest punishment," OP Singh said.
