CHANDIGARH, AUGUST 28

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today termed the allegations levelled by ousted AAP convenor of Punjab Sucha Singh Chhotepur against National convener Arvind Kejriwal on the “Youth Manifesto issue” as baseless.

Himmat Singh Shergill, head of the legal cell of the party, asked Chhotepur why, as a true Sikh, he was silent on such “remarks” by Kejriwal for so many days.

“Timing of such serious allegations against Kejriwal shows that these are baseless and false. When he (Chhotepur) was caught red-handed while accepting a ‘bribe’ of Rs two lakh on camera and was exposed, he made such allegations against Kejriwal to divert attention from his sins.” Shergill stated.

“Moreover, Chhotepur himself claimed that Kejriwal made such remarks on July 29 at Amritsar then why did he keep quite on such a serious issue for so many days?,” he said.

“Why didn’t he come out of the car after listening to such anti-Sikh comments on which he claimed to have got get stunned?,“ Shergill asked.
