Saurabh Bharadwaj, president of AAP Delhi, lashed out at the Delhi Police for filing an FIR against AAP leaders
This won’t work. This hooliganism by Police won’t work,” Bharadwaj said.
Police said the FIR was registered under sections related to obstructing a public servant in the discharge of official duties and assaulting a public servant. Bharadwaj alleged that the police were trying to intimidate AAP leaders by implicating them in false cases, saying the move would not deter the party. “Police personnel are scared. They think that implicating us in false cases will scare us. Bharadwaj’s remarks came a day after he, accompanied by AAP MLAs and councillors, reached Vikaspuri Police Station and demanded immediate registration of an FIR against Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh. The protest followed a viral video showing Verma allegedly slapping a local youth during a road inspection row in Tilak Nagar. The incident took place after opposition leaders raised concerns over alleged sub-standard PWD road construction. The latest FIR adds a fresh turn to the political confrontation that began with the alleged slapping incident during the Tilak Nagar road inspection.
