Atishi remarks row: let them get the matter probed by CBI: Punjab CM

Key Highlights

• Addressing the media, Mann said “The forensic report has come, and the court has also made its position clear.
• But if the BJP believes that the CBI is above even the forensic laboratory, then it should go ahead and order a CBI probe as well.” Meanwhile, Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bharadwaj has said that Minister Kapil Mishra is now caught in his own doing, as the Delhi government’s forensic report, and an earlier Punjab Police investigation have established that the word “guru” was never used in the video.
• He added that Mishra allegedly circulated a fake video to accuse the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, and ended up committing an act of sacrilege against the gurus himself.
• Bharadwaj demanded Mishra’s dismissal and challenged the BJP to place the forensic report before a court.
• AAP leader Sanjeev Jha, who is the party’s chief whip in the Delhi Assembly, has said the party had earlier stated, and the Punjab forensic laboratory has now confirmed, that Atishi’s video was presented in a fabricated manner.
