New Delhi: Union minister Prakash Javadekar on Monday said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had called himself an "anarchist" and there is not much difference between "an anarchist and a terrorist."

His remarks came a few days after the Election Commission (EC) issued a show-cause notice to BJP MP Parvesh Verma for allegedly calling Kejriwal a "terrorist."

"Kejriwal is now asking with a sad face, 'am I a terrorist?' You are a terrorist and there is a lot of evidence to prove that. You yourself had said you are an anarchist. There is not much difference between an anarchist and a terrorist," the senior BJP leader said at a press conference.

Javadekar also raked up the issue of Kejriwal "staying a night at the Moga residence of Khalistani commander Gurinder Singh during the Punjab Assembly polls."

"You knew it was a militant's house. Still, you stayed there. How much more evidence do you need?" he added.
