BJP questions AAP after police claim on threats to 400 schools

The BJP on Tuesday asked AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal to clarify whether AAP has any connection with those allegedly involved in sending bomb threats to more than 400 schools in Delhi recently. This came after the Delhi Police claimed that a Class-12 student had sent hoax bomb threats to more than 400 city schools and that his parents were linked to an NGO that supports a political party. The police, however, did not reveal the name of the political party.

A police officer also said that during investigation, it was found that the NGO had also voiced support to Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

Hitting back, AAP accused the BJP of "concocting stories" ahead of the assembly polls and asserted that "no evidence (on this) has so far come from the police".



Terming the police findings as "very sensitive and serious", BJP national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi claimed it has also been found during the probe that the student's parents were associated with some NGOs that were involved in activities considered inimical to national security.

"This news is raising deep suspicion because we all know that AAP has deep links to such unwanted NGOs and others involved in anti-national activities," he said at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here.


"Kejriwal talks all nonsense and makes false statements. I want to ask clearly if AAP will clarify what its links are to the horrifying and dangerous facts coming out because a direct ideological similarity with you is visible with what is coming to light in the case," Trivedi said.

BJP's Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva, while targeted AAP on the issue, claimed that given the direction of the investigation, the links between the said NGO and AAP and its leaders will come out soon.
