Attack on Prashant Bhushan a conspiracy, role of police should be probed: Kejriwal

New Delhi: Clarifying that Kashmir was an integral part of India and Team Anna’s focus is only on the issue of corruption, Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that the Kashmir issue was used as a smokescreen for attacking senior Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan.

Bhushan was attacked inside his Supreme Court chamber a couple of days ago by three men, who claimed to be members different right wing organisations.

Talking to mediapersons here, Kejriwal said that the attack on Bhushan and the scuffle between Team Anna members and supporters of the three attackers outside the Patiala House Court on Thursday was part of a conspiracy to distract the attention of the peopke from the issue of corruption.

“Kashmir is an integral part of India. The Kashmir issue is a complicated one and should be resolved according to the Constitution,” Kejriwal said.

Denying any rift in Team Anna, Kejriwal rejected reports of Prashant Bhushan’s exit from Anna’s team and said that the lawyers remains an important part of the squad.

He also questioned the role of Delhi police during the whole Bhushan attack episode and demanded a probe into the matter.

Meanwhile, the three men who had launched an assault of Bhushan were granted bail by the court on Friday.
