CM रेखा गुप्ता, केजरीवाल spar over Vipassana; he invokes भगवान बुद्ध

• A political dispute has erupted between Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and Arvind Kejriwal over Vipassana meditation.
• CM Rekha Gupta criticized Kejriwal for going on Vipassana retreats, implying he abandons Delhi during pollution crises.
• Kejriwal responded, urging Gupta not to mock the "divine Vipassana meditation" taught by Lord Buddha, despite political differences.
• Kejriwal advised CM Gupta to try Vipassana, stating it brings peace and is not an act of "running away."
• The issue stems from Kejriwal's frequent Vipassana retreats, which have previously drawn criticism from political opponents.

Why It Matters: Political leaders' spiritual practices are weaponized in Delhi.
