Political slugfest over Jahangirpuri violence as AAP blames BJP

Hindustan Times  

The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday alleged that the main accused of the Jahangirpuri riots has “deep ties” with the Bharatiya Janata Party, sharing photos that purported to show the suspect participating in opposition party events. We have shared the ground report with the police.” Hours later, AAP leaders Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Sanjay Singh held a press conference and released pictures suggesting Ansar is a BJP leader. Responding to AAP’s claims, Delhi BJP spokespersons Harish Khurana and Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that over the past few years, Ansar became the backbone of the AAP in the Jahangirpuri area. A script was prepared in BJP headquarters that instructed the police to let the riots happen, then claim mastermind Ansar to be from AAP and disassociate BJP’s ties with him,” he said. Sanjay Singh also lashed out at the saffron party, saying that people voted for the BJP in the name of development, education, health care, employment, but alleged the party was more interested in “fuelling riots”.
