'Wrong To Deny Approval for My Singapore Visit': Arvind Kejriwal Slams PM Modi

He urged the Prime Minister to clear his visit to the 'World Cities' Summit' next month in Singapore.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, 17 July, to clear his visit to the 'World Cities' Summit' next month in Singapore. In a letter to the prime minister, he said that it is "against national interest" to stop a chief minister "from visiting such a huge stage."

Explaining the importance of this, he wrote that the former United States President Donald Trump had said that the entire world should witness Delhi's education system. The United Nations, too, had appreciated the 'Mohalla Clinics' in the city.

"It is wrong to hold the permission for attending the event. It is an opportunity to present the Delhi Model of governance at the world stage," he said.
