Delhi Congress chief accuses AAP for Shaheen Bagh firing incident

After the Shaheen Bagh gunman Kapil Gujjar was seen with the AAP leaders in the controversial photographs released by the Delhi Police, state Congress chief Subhash Chopra lashed out at the AAP and held it responsible for the firing incident in Shaheen Bagh.

Speaking to ANI, Chopra said, "It is clear that the AAP was involved in the attack in Shaheen Bagh. Who brought Kapil Gujjar? Action should also be taken against the people who inducted the shooter into the party (AAP) -- Atishi and Sanjay Singh who conspired against a particular religion and tried to scare them."

He said that the BJP and AAP belong to the same team and saluted the women protesting at Shaheen Bagh 'to defend the Constitution'.
