The former Delhi chief minister has reportedly blamed Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for the assault.
“Some people are ready to go to any extent to become Prime Minister. Let them do whatever they are doing. Our religion teaches us non-violence. If we raise our hands, this movement will come to an end,” Arvind Kejriwal said.
He appealed for calm and urged supporters not to react to the attack.
“Let them attack us, we will not retaliate. Some people will do anything to become PM,” Kejriwal said after the attack.
AAP workers thrashed the attacker and handed him over to the police.
The identity of the assailant is not yet known.
