NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday compared Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia with freedom fighter Bhagat Singh as he was summoned for interrogation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the alleged liquor scam. However, AAP’s rivals BJP and Congress condemned the comparison and demanded an apology from its leaders.
Before leaving for the CBI headquarters on Monday morning, Sisodia sought blessings of his mother and went to Mahatma Gandhi’s samadhi Rajghat. He alleged that he was being framed by the Narendra Modi government which did not want him to campaign in the forthcoming Gujarat assembly election.
