A political debate has emerged after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and supporters shared posts on social media claiming that the children of senior party leaders participated in a recent protest demonstration.
AAP Leaders Anurag Dhanda Say Their Children Joined Protest

Highlighting Participation in Demonstration
The remarks were made in response to criticism questioning whether the families of AAP leaders were involved in the protests or whether only party workers and supporters were participating.
Journalist Vikrant Yadav also commented on the issue, noting that people often believe politicians send ordinary citizens’ children to protests while keeping their own families away. Referring to the viral images, he said the case of Sanjay Singh’s daughter was being cited by AAP supporters as an example to counter that perception.
The social media posts have sparked political discussion, with supporters describing the participation of leaders’ family members as a sign of commitment to the party’s movement, while critics continue to question the circumstances surrounding the protest.
The claims regarding the participation of political leaders’ children are based on statements shared by AAP leaders and supporters on social media. No independent official confirmation regarding all of the claims has been issued at the time of writing.
