BJP's insult of Advani and Joshi against Hindu culture: Kejriwal
New Delhi, Mar 26 (UNI): Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's treatment of senior BJP elders L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, saying it was "insulting" and "against Hindu culture".
Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, Kejriwal said: ''The way Mr Modi insulted his elders - Mr Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, this is against Hindu culture. In Hinduism, we have been taught to respect our elders."
''Those who built the 'house' had been thrown out. When he cannot support his elders then who can he support,'' Kejriwal said.
''Is this Indian culture? People are talking about why Mr Modi is insulting Mr Advani, Mr Joshi and Sushma Swaraj," he said in a series of tweets.
