The philosopher Mick Jagger once said, ‘You can’t get what you want, but you get what you need’. One doesn’t know what Arvind Kejriwal wanted when he slyly asked PM Modi to counter Pakistani propaganda by showing proof of the surgical strike, but his remark didn’t go down well with the natives of India. And it seems his remarks made him extremely popular on the other side as Pakistanis took to Twitter to declare their ‘love’ for the Delhi CM.

For the record, while Pakistanis have been denying that the attack ever took place, a Mirpur SP in PoK admitted that an attack had taken place on September 29. Here are some of the best Tweets:

Earlier the BJP attacked Kejriwal after media reports showed proof of the surgical strike. "Does his silence mean that he trusts Pakistani media over Indian media? Does his silence mean that he does not believe that the surgical strikes happened? Does his silence mean that he still does not trust the Indian Army? We are fine with him for not believing the government. We are also fine with him for not believing our party. But what could be the reason that he still refuses to believe the Indian Army after conclusive evidence by Indian media?" BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma asked in a statement.

Taking a jibe at the AAP leader, he said they are "in awe of" Kejriwal as he is often the first person to comment on any issue under the sun and they also "admire" his movie reviews on Twitter which has become a "regular feature". Sharma said it was unfortunate that he fell victim to Pakistani media propaganda and began questioning the army. "He also alleged that India is getting isolated globally but perhaps he lives in a different world."

"But we are surprised as well as shocked at his silence at two different media reports that have surfaced today giving details about the surgical strikes. "Now that there is ample evidence in the media, we wish Kejriwal also starts blunting the Pakistani propaganda. He has more than 9 million followers on Twitter, and there cannot be a better reason for him to tweet. After all, blunting Pakistani propaganda is all he wanted, isn't it?" he wondered.

Does Kejriwal's silence, the BJP leader questioned, means that he trusts Pakistani media over Indian media? Does his silence means that he does not believe that the surgical strikes happened, Sharma asked. Kejriwal in a video message had asked the Modi government to counter Pakistan propaganda refuting claims of surgical strikes and had cited international media reports in this regard. BJP said he was seeking proof of the strikes and attacked him for question the army's assertion.
