Days after Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma threatened his Delhi
counterpart with a defamation case, the AAP chief reached Guwahati on
Sunday and invited the BJP leader for tea and lunch at his residence in the national
capital.
Kejriwal also said such threats by Sarma are unbecoming of a chief minister.
Sarma had on Friday threatened to file a defamation case against Kejriwal if the Aam
Aadmi Party leader alleged corruption cases against him outside the assembly.
''Is there any FIR or case against me anywhere in the country? I wanted to sue him but
like a coward, he spoke inside the assembly,'' the Assam CM said.
''Let Kejriwal come here on April 2 and say that I am corrupt. The next day, I will file a
defamation case against him as I have done against (AAP leader) Manish Sisodia,''
Sarma had said.
Kejriwal had reportedly said in the Delhi Assembly that there are cases against Sarma.
"People of Assam are very good. They welcome their guests. Himanta Biswa Sarma
should learn from them," the Delhi CM said immediately after landing at the Lokpriya
Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport here, reacting to Sarma's remarks.
