| AAP leader to be questioned again for ‘anti Hindu remarks’ | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 26: Senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and former Minister, Rajendra Gautam is to be questioned by the Delhi Police for his allegedly “anti-Hindu remarks” at a conversion event held in the AAP ruled New Delhi on October 5.
Sources said Rajendra Pal Gautam, who resigned from the ministry earlier this month, in the wake of the controversy, will be called for questioning to the Paharganj Police station in the national capital.
Official sources said Gautam is already under the scanner of the Delhi Police over his presence at a religious conversion event where Hindu deities were allegedly denounced.
According to official documents, on October 5, Gautam attended a programme at the Ambedkar Bhawan where "certain words were uttered publicly, which has infuriated public at large.”
Sources said numerous complaints were received against the AAP leader over the event he attended and that he had “hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community.”
A senior official said Gautam’s role “looked suspicious.” “Had he not been guilty why would he have resigned from the chair of minister in the Delhi government in the wake of the controversy?” asked the official.
The official said the accused AAP leader had already been questioned twice.
Gautam however has been refuting the allegations leveled against him. “I follow the law and if I have committed any crime, you can register a case and arrest me. If I have not, you can interrogate me,” he recently told the media.
Gautam, who was the Minister for Social Welfare, SC and ST, Registrar of Co-operative Societies and Gurdwara Elections, said he resigned as minister as he does not want his leader or AAP to be in trouble because of him.
For the last few months the AAP has been facing controversy after controversy pushing its leadership to “embarrassment of sorts.” |
