VK Singh must be sacked by evening, demands Kejriwal; AAP to file police complaint

“Today is Dussehra, an occasion when the good triumphs over evil and ego. If Modi-ji intends to celebrate Dussehra in true fashion, then he must eliminate ego from his cabinet. He should sack VK Singh from the union cabinet before today evening,” he added.

Senior AAP leader Ashutosh said that the party will ask the police to file an FIR against Singh under the SC/ST Act.

In Ghaziabad, a parliamentary constituency that he represents, VK Singh kicked up a storm with his comments that the Centre cannot be blamed if somebody throws a stone at a dog to shield it from criticism for the incident in which a Dalit household was set on fire in Faridabad.

“See, the thing is, never associate local incidents with the Central government (sarkar). There is an inquiry going on. There was a dispute between families. The dispute…how did it turn out…where did the administration fail, after these it comes to the Centre,” Singh said.

“For everything…like if somebody throws a stone at a dog, then the government is responsible…it is not like that,” he added.

Singh’s comments have been widely condemned by opposition leaders who have demanded his sacking from the cabinet.
