AAP leader challenged media organisations to telecast visuals from Jantar Mantar
The AAP leader challenged media organisations to telecast visuals from Jantar Mantar, saying the scale of the gathering was significant enough that it could not be ignored. He argued that visual coverage would allow people to assess the situation for themselves.
The BJP has not responded to Dhanda’s specific allegations in the social media post. The claims made by the AAP leader could not be independently verified.
The remarks come amid heightened political exchanges between the AAP and the BJP over issues related to public protests, governance, and media coverage. Both parties have frequently accused each other of attempting to influence public discourse and shape political narratives through media platforms.
