PM Modi Unlikely To Attend Arvind Kejriwal's Swearing-In Ceremony on Sunday

The invite was reportedly sent to the prime minister on Thursday.

New Delhi: AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his swearing-in ceremony on Sunday. The invite was reportedly sent to the prime minister on Thursday.  Kejriwal will take oath as Delhi Chief minister along with his cabinet at Ramlila Maidan at 10 am on Sunday. However, Sources have told ABP News that PM Modi is unlikely to attend the ceremony as he has to attend prescheduled public programmes in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi on February 16. Speaking about the oath ceremony of Kejriwal, MLA-elect Atishi said the party is offering open invitation to the public. "For us, the people of Delhi are most important. We are giving an open invitation to the people of Delhi." She said people should come in a majority to celebrate the day. Atishi said during the last two oath ceremonies also, the people came in large numbers. "This shows their love for Kejriwal. We hope similar thing this time." Meanwhile, 'Baby Mufflerman' Aavyan Tomar, who stole the hearts when he dressed up as Arvind Kejriwal, will also be a special invitee at the swearing-in ceremony. An AAP functionary said Tomar has been invited for the oath-taking ceremony. Tomar, who is little more than a year old, hogged the headlines after he was spotted at the party office dressed like Kejriwal -- with spectacles, party cap, a sweater and muffler.The child even sported a moustache like the AAP chief. Aavyan Tomar lives at Mayur Vihar in east Delhi. His father Rahul Tomar is an AAP supporter. Earlier this morning, noted lyricist-screenwriter Javed Akhtar called on Kejriwal and AAP leader Sanjay Singh at his residence. In an interview to Al Jazeera, Javed Akhtar had called Narendra Modi a 'fascist' in his latest attack on the Prime Minister. To a question on whether he thought Modi was fascist, Akhtar replied, "Of course, he is. I mean, fascists don't have horns on their heads. Fascist is a thinking. And thinking that we are better than others and whatever problems we have, it is because of these people'... the moment you hate people in wholesale, you're a fascist." Aam Aadmi Party bagged 62 of the 70 seats in Delhi. (With additional information from Agencies)
