AAP's Bibhav Kumar detained amid Swati Maliwal assault allegations
Delhi minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Friday hit out at the Election Commission after it served her a show cause notice, questioning if the poll body is a “subsidiary organisation” of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The minister also claimed that the BJP “planted” the EC notice in the media even before she received it on mail.
“On 4 April, the BJP registered a complaint against one of my press conferences…On 5 April at 11:15 am, news channels flash that a notice had been sent to Atishi, but half an hour after the news, I got the notice in the mail. This means that the BJP first plants the Election Commission notice in the media and after that, I get the notice…My question is whether the Election Commission has become a subsidiary organisation of BJP,” Atishi said during a press briefing.
Atishi also advised the polling body to not act as a tool of rulling regime.
