New Delhi: A day after challenging Union Home Minister Amit Shah to a debate, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said he was ready for a debate even on the controversial sit-in anti-CAA venue, Shaheen Bagh, as the former BJP chief has repeatedly brought it up during his Assembly poll campaign.
Speaking to the media, Kejriwal said debate is important in a democracy and people want answers for their questions.

Kejriwal said taking the escape route from people’s questions was not always advisable.
दिल्ली का चुनाव देश में एक नई किस्म की राजनीति स्थापित करेगा – काम की राजनीति। आम आदमी पार्टी को ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा वोट दे कर अगले पांच साल और तेजी से काम करने की ताकत दें। pic.twitter.com/kpASJmWNaD

“I challenged Shah for a debate. I want to say that I am ready for debate on any topic. He has been saying ‘Shaheen Bagh, Shaheen Bagh, Shaheen Bagh’, I am ready for a debate on it as well. But he is not ready for a public debate,” said Kejriwal.
“It is very sad,” added the Chief Minister.
He also referred to the Bhagavad Gita, saying even the Hindu scripture says that a true Hindu will never desert the battlefield.
“A true Hindu is brave. He will not leave a fight midway. This doesn’t look good on Amit Shahji that he is running away from a debate, and avoiding people’s questions.”
