Tell me, should those who talk about breaking India be put in jail or not?""If we put them in jail, then Rahul Baba (Rahul Gandhi) and Kejriwal (AAP chief) say that they have a right to freedom of speech," he said."We sent those people to jail who raised the slogan of 'Bharat tere tukde ho hazar' in JNU two years ago... But Kejriwal government has not sanctioned the prosecution of these people and they are roaming free. Kejriwal, do you want to give sanction to prosecute them or not?" he asked.The Union Minister further cornered Aam Aadmi Party for not fulfilling the promises the party made before coming into power and said: "If there will be a competition to lie, the Aam Aadmi Party will be in the first place."He lambasted the Opposition for allegedly "instigating riots" after the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and said only Prime Minister Narendra Modi can control anti-national forces."These people (opposition) started instigating riots after we implemented the CAA.
