“Heroes of Pakistan,” said the posters which were hurriedly removed by Aam Aadmi Party activists.

Kejriwal has drawn strong criticism for asking the government to provide evidence of the Indian Army’s surgical strikes across the Line of Control against terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir earlier this month.

Posters branding him “traitor” have been put up in north Gujarat’s Surat and Unjha, where he on Saturday met families of those killed during the Patel agitation in Gujarat.
