AAP Chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj on Monday attacked BJP, a day after some key organisers of the Shaheen Bagh protest joined the saffron party. The spokesperson said that the BJP fought the Delhi election in the name of Shaheen Bagh and that the whole protest was pre-planned and well scripted by the BJP top brass.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj on Monday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a day after some key organisers of the Shaheen Bagh protest joined the saffron party.
The spokesperson said that the BJP fought the Delhi election in the name of Shaheen Bagh and that the whole protest was pre-planned and well scripted by the BJP top brass.
"The Delhi assembly election could have been fought on the work done in the field of education, health, environment or other developmental issues. But the Delhi BJP chose to fight the election on the issue of Shaheen Bagh," said Bharadwaj.
He said that the people who raised anti-national or pro-Pakistan slogans or talked about dividing India are now part of the BJP. "Yesterday, the key people behind the Shaheen Bagh protest joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, in the presence of the senior leadership."
"The Aam Aadmi Party has monitored the Shaheen Bagh protest very closely. I want to tell the BJP supporters of Delhi that the people against whom you guys protested or opposed were the people of Bharatiya Janata Party itself," the AAP spokesperson added.
जो लोग लोकतंत्र के लिए शाहीन बाग जाते थे उन्हें भी आज झटका लगा होगा कि वहाँ उन्हें धोखा दिया जा रहा था।

भाजपा के शीर्ष नेताओं द्वारा शाहीन बाग के नेताओं को अपनी पार्टी में शामिल करने से साफ हो गया कि इस पूरे चक्रव्यूह की रचनाकार भाजपा थी।- @Saurabh_MLAgk #BJPShaheenBaghExpose pic.twitter.com/DQG5IEIzAp
Bhardwaj also claimed that the BJP won seats by engineering a riot and polarising north-east Delhi.
"Delhi elections took place and the BJP got defeated. The party only won some seats in north-east Delhi because in those areas they could polarise the people in the name of religion. Due to this Shaheen Bagh, the BJP engineered a massive riot in north-east Delhi where 53 people lost their lives. When everything was done, the BJP has asked these people to join their party again," said Bharadwaj.
Substantiating his point, he said that the BJP's poll campaign was completely based on Shaheen Bagh and all the top leaders repeatedly targeted Shaheen Bagh protests during their speeches.
"Mr Shah (Union Home Minister) said that when you press the Lotus button on February 8, do so with such anger that its current (poll result) is felt at Shaheen Bagh. I, as an engineer, did not really understand the wired connection between Lotus Button and Shaheen Bagh. Now, we know there was a connection."
The AAP spokesperson added that police alleged that the people there raised pro-Pakistan slogans, anti-national slogans. "Despite all these allegations, the police did not do anything and just remained a silent spectator of these violations. They also did not understand that this Shaheen Bagh protest is just a brainchild and a script of the Bharatiya Janata Party."
