Chandigarh, Aug 6: Aam Aadmi Party leader Javed Ahmed on Sunday rubbished charges of his alleged involvement in the murder of Bajrang Dal activist Pradeep Sharma during the Nuh violence and claimed that he was “100 km away” at the time of the incident. He also termed it “political propaganda” and an attempt to malign him as well as his party.
Anurag Dhanda, the vice-president of AAP’s Haryana unit also rubbished the allegations against Ahmed, saying a “false FIR” has been registered against him.
In a video message, Dhanda said, “The entire country knows which party incites riots and makes people fight. First, they vitiate the atmosphere and then file false FIR against leaders of other parties.
“Javed Ahmed is a leader of our party. A false FIR has been registered against him on the Nuh issue,” he said.
Ahmed claimed that he has CCTV footage of the toll plazas he crossed and “I have shown this to the police too”. When pointed out that he has been named as an accused in the case, Ahmed said, “It is a very sad incident. As far as Pradeep bhai is concerned, I am saddened… We want justice for him.” (PTI)
