Delhi Polls: AAP demands campaign ban on Yogi Adityanath after controversial remarks

The Aam
Aadmi Party on Sunday demanded the Election Commission to ban Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning in the national capital over his
alleged provocative speeches.

AAP leader
Sanjay Singh also demanded an FIR against him for his remarks.

Addressing a
series of rallies in the national capital, Adityanath hit out at the anti-CAA
protesters in Delhi, especially those in Shaheen Bagh, and accused the AAP
government of siding with them.

He said that
“their ancestors divided India”, so they have a complain against this
emerging ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat’, and slammed the AAP government, saying
it “supplies biryani” to protesters in Shaheen Bagh.

The UP chief
minister also attacked his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal, alleging he and
his party were siding with protesters at Shaheen Bagh and that a Pakistan
minister and AAP were speaking in similar terms.

AAP’s Sanjay
Singh also told the media that it has been 48 hours since the AAP asked the
Election Commission time to meet them but it has not been granted.

“If the
EC does not give us time, we will stage a sit-in in front of the ECI office on
Monday,” Singh said.
