The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in a press briefing on Tuesday levelled serious charges against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its alleged role in engineering the Jahangirpuri communal violence.
AAP’s Kalkaji MLA Atishi tweeted that the 35-year-old Mohammad Ansar, who the Delhi police say is one of the main conspirators of the Jahangirpuri violence, has been a “BJP leader”.
She posted several photos in which Ansar can be seen campaigning for BJP candidate Sangeeta Bajaj in Jahangirpuri. Bajaj was the BJP’s Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) candidate from North Jahangirpuri in 2017 and can be seen with Ansar in multiple photos posted by Atishi.
