Poster row: AAP secretary, two volunteers sent to judicial custody
New Delhi, July 19 In the matter, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and other senior leaders said the AAP leaders have been implicated and the Delhi Police is allegedly acting at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). They accused the BJP-led Centre of misusing the police for political witch-hunt, saying the former Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had used the same tactic to target political opponents in his state. "Frustrated over its failure to form Delhi government, the BJP is trying to replicate the Gujarat style of functioning in Delhi. Police in Gujarat also used similar methods to frame innocents. But we are not going to be cowed down. We will instead take to streets," said AAP senior leader Sanjay Singh. Claiming that the AAP has learnt from insiders of Delhi Police that the orders of arresting the AAP leaders had come from the top, Singh alleged, "It is the BJP whose leaders circulated fake videos to instigate people to indulge in communal violence in Muzaffarnagar. The BJP is doing this to divert attention from the failures of its government in controlling rising prices and corruption." Senior party leader and AAP MLA Manish Sisodia said the posters have nothing to do with the AAP. "Dilip Pandey was called for interrogation and he was later arrested even as Amantullah has confessed to the police that he had put up the posters," said Sisodia while pointing out that the arrest was on flimsy ground. The fact that the content on the poster was marked to Pandey in an email doesn't make him a culprit, he argued. Last night, the AAP leaders were arrested by Delhi's South East District police after long hours of questioning for allegedly putting up posters with provocative content against Congress MLAs Mateen Ahmed, Asif Mohd Khan and Hasan Ahmed. |

AAP is BJP's B team, says Congress
New Delhi, July 19 Calling AAP a B team
of the BJP, he warned against disturbing the law and order situation in the Capital, saying that the peaceful atmosphere in Delhi should not be vitiated. On rumours that several Congress leaders have held secret parleys with the BJP for forming the government in Delhi, he said the Delhi Congress was totally united and all its MLAs were together
as one solid block. He said no force can divide the Congress MLAs at any
cost. Arvinder Singh said Kejriwal should be bothering about his own party. He said the AAP had
totally failed on the Jan Lok Pal and corruption issues, and that was the reason he has stooped to low-level politics. "He (Kejriwa) has lowered the politics of Delhi, adding that Congress was the only party which was not talking about forming a government in Delhi as the people of Delhi had not given the party the mandate," said the DPCC president. Congress Legislative Party leader Haroon Yusuf said the Delhi Congress was totally united and it would inform people so that they can assess themselves and compare the rule of the Congress party with that of the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP-led Government at the Centre. Yusuf said that it was regretful that the BJP was trying to vitiate the communal amity in the country. According to the CLP leader, the observation of Ashok Singhal about the minority community was very provocative, which should be condemned with the contempt it deserves. |

AAP bent upon vitiating communal harmony: Upadhyay
New Delhi, July 19 "He (Kejriwal) is aware of the fact that people have understood his politics and in such a situation, his wild allegations show his frustration," he said while briefing reporters here. Upadhyay said that the allegation of Kejriwal in the matter of AAP leader Dilip Pandey's arrest is a bundle of lies as the police have arrested on the basis of video clips and other proof, he said. This is not the first time that the AAP leaders have tried to vitiate the communal harmony or supported those people who want to spread communalism, he said. "During the Delhi elections, they questioned the decision on Batla House encounter which is contempt of the court; pamphlets were distributed requesting a particular community to vote for his party," he said. |

AAP dares BJP, Cong to fight polls
New Delhi, July 19 The party noted that that the BJP has so far resisted the dissolution of the assembly in the Supreme Court whereas the Congress has been speaking in different voices inside and outside the Supreme Court. "In the petition filed by the AAP in the Supreme Court, the BJP lawyers have been consistently maintaining that all options should be explored. While not once in the court has the Congress lawyer demanded dissolution of the assembly," the AAP stated. "In case of BJP if it is ready for elections, the people of Delhi can get a chance to elect a new government of their choice within no time. All that is required is that the BJP has to ask the Union home ministry to seek a report from the LG recommending dissolution of the assembly. If the BJP state president is serious in demanding fresh elections, the stalemate can be resolved in no time," the AAP said. Further, it said that the Congress leaders have been talking in contradictory voices over the Delhi assembly issue. "If the Delhi state Congress chief is serious about fresh elections then what is preventing him from meeting the LG and handing over a letter seeking dissolution of the assembly," the AAP questioned. |
