Pakistanis trend #PakStandsWithKejriwal on Twitter to support Arvind Kejriwal over surgical strikes
Arvind Kejriwal’s demand of providing video proof of surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army has found backers across border. Realizing that this is exactly what they want, Pakistanis have come out in support of Kejriwal.
Earlier today, hordes of Twitter users from Pakistan posted messages on the microblogging site in support of Arvind Kejriwal. The frequency and magnitude of these messages were so high that the hashtag #PakStandsWithKejriwal was on the top among Twitter trends in Pakistan.
Interestingly, most of these Pakistani Twitter users were supporters of Imran Khan, who is often called “Kejriwal of Pakistan” and their messages had rhetoric that resembled those found in messages posted by Indian supporters of Arvind Kejriwal.
Take a look at some of the tweets posted by Pakistanis in support of the Delhi Chief Minister:

Arnab Goswami is often the target of attack by Indian supporters of Arvind Kejriwal, and coincidently he was attacked by Pakistani supporters too.

Arvind Kejriwal himself had claimed that he could be
assassinated by Modi government, and the same rhetoric was repeated by the Pakistanis supporting him.
