BJP accuses AAP of circulating 'edited' videos to malign Maliwal

The Delhi BJP has accused AAP leaders of circulating “edited” videos to tarnish the image of Swati Maliwal, who is their own party MP.

It is regrettable that “edited” videos are being circulated on social media groups since Friday in an attempt to “defame” Maliwal, who is a member of the AAP, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva claimed.

A couple of videos from the chief minister’s residence from the day of the incident have surfaced on social media, one showed Maliwal having an argument with security personnel, while the other showed her walking out of the CM’s residence in the Civil Lines.

“Now that the entire Aam Aadmi Party is tarnishing the image of Swati Maliwal, it’s time Kejriwal comes forward and speaks on the matter,” Sachdeva said.

The AAP has accused Maliwal of lying and becoming a part of the BJP conspiracy to frame Kejriwal in a fake case in the midst of elections.

Sachdeva said now that Kejriwal’s aide has been arrested by police, many “dirty pages” of AAP’s politics will become public.

If the AAP is trying to implicate Maliwal by circulating “edited” videos, it would be better for the Delhi Police to immediately take possession of the complete CCTV footage of the chief minister’s residence, Sachdeva said.

He charged that Maliwal is not the first woman leader of the AAP that the party has defamed.

Earlier, they also raised questions about Kiran Bedi, Shazia Ilmi and Richa Pandey who have all left the AAP, Sachdeva added.
