A forensic report on a controversial video clip linked to Leader of Opposition Atishi has triggered a fresh political flashpoint between the BJP-led Delhi Assembly and the AAP governments in Delhi and Punjab. Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Saturday said a forensic science laboratory (FSL) report had concluded that the video allegedly showing Atishi making remarks disrespecting Sikh Gurus was original and untampered. Delhi AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj rejected the FSL report, arguing that it failed to address the core dispute. The Delhi Assembly has also demanded replies from senior Punjab police officers over what it describes as a breach of privilege. He said the report had established the “sin” committed by Atishi and accused AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal of shielding her.
