The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener had been at a meditation centre in Dharamkot village, 12 kilometers from Dharamshala town, for Vipassana meditation course since August 1.

In a brief interaction with media in Dharamshala, Kejriwal said he had been to other states before for meditation as well but his experience in Himachal was enchanting.

“I am feeling peaceful and energised. It will surely help he to meet challenges ahead,” said Kejriwal.

He, however, parried queries on fresh developments in National Capital following the Delhi high court orders.

“I have just come out of Vipassana and will have to study the court orders before commenting on the issue” said the Delhi CM.

He left the Dharamkot meditation centre at 11am and arrived at Dharamshala circuit house, where he met the local party leaders. He left for Chandigarh by road in the afternoon as all the flights on Dharamshala- Delhi route were cancelled due to heavy downpour in the region.
