New Delhi: An FIR has been registered against Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal at the Gandhidham police station for violation of model code of conduct. The action has been taken after the BJP workers alleged that Kejriwal used a microphone in Gandhidham for his public meet without the permission of the collector.
The AAP is facing heat even in the capital where party leaders Shazia Ilmi and Ashutosh were questioned on Thursday by the Delhi Police in connection with the protests outside the BJP headquarters that took place on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, 14 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers who were arrested overnight for protests in the national capital were granted bail by the Patiala House Court on Thursday.
Ashutosh has assured that as a 'law abiding citizen', he will cooperate with the police in its investigation. He also appealed the party supporters not to resort to violence.
Stepping out after her interrogation, Ilmi claimed that she told the police that she was not involved in any rioting. "I questioned police on what basis they have registered FIR against me. Have they seen me pelting stone there," Ilmi said. She also accused the Delhi Police of targeting the AAP and wondered why no action was being taken against BJP activists.
While maintaining a tough stand on the BJP-AAP clashes, Kejriwal sought an apology from the people over violent incidents. "If any of my workers have indulged in violence I express regret," he said.
Alarmed by the attack, the Delhi Election Commission has served a notice to the AAP for alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct, asking whether it took permission for the protest outside the BJP headquarters in the national capital.
The Delhi Police, in its report submitted to the EC, has stated that the AAP workers incited violence and BJP workers retaliated. They have also stated that the AAP members did not take permission to stage a protest.
