Lok Sabha elections 2019: Atishi counters ex-MLA’s claims over her religion

Hindustan Times  

AAP’s East Delhi candidate Atishi on Sunday responded to the controversy surrounding her caste, saying she belongs to a Hindu Punjabi family and is not a Jew as claimed by former Congress legislator Asif Khan. “I belong to a Punjabi Hindu family, and despite knowing it, former Congress MLA Asif Khan is lying about me and dubbing me as a Jew,” she said in a press conference on Sunday. Asked about his stand on Atishi Marlena, Khan on Sunday said, “It is my understanding that she is a Jew and this information is making rounds on social media.” Coming to Atishi’s defence, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia warned both the BJP and Congress to beware of her, saying “she is a Rajputani”. “I am sad that the BJP and Congress together are spreading lies about the religion of our East Delhi candidate,” said Sisodia in a tweet.
