New Delhi:

Aam Aadmi Party today, addressing a press conference in Delhi, rejected Imam Bukhari's appeal to Muslims to support AAP in tomorrow's elections in Delhi.


Here are the highlights of the AAP press conference:

  • Only a few hours remain before ballots are cast in the Delhi polls: AAP member Ashutosh
  • AAP wants to clarify that we have no link with Ahmad Shah Bukhari and we don't know why he has come out in our support.
  • Everyone knows the communal nature of Bukhari's politics and we don't need his support.
  • He invited Pakistan's Prime Minister instead of calling India's Prime Minister to his son's 'dastarbandi'. We might not agree with the PM but he is the Prime Minister of this country and we must respect the office.
  • Aam Aadmi Party refuses to take the support of Shahi Imam: Sanjay Singh
  • The kind of wave we have in Delhi, we hope to get over 50 seats.
  • Aam Aadmi Party believes Shahi Imam has supported different parties at different times, AAP doesn't believe in his brand of politics. We are against all forms of communalism.
  • A man who represents the worst side of politics has come out in support of the Aam Aadmi Party: Ashish Khetan
  • Today it became very clear that certain political outfits and elements are trying to polarize these elections.
  • AAP is a party that is setting new benchmarks in Indian politics. We want to make it clear that the Aam Aadmi Party is here to fight against the sort of communal politics that Ahmad Bukhari represents.
  • I would request Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to please concentrate on making the budget: AAP member Ashutosh
  • If the Finance Minister is more interested in Delhi politics rather than making the national budget, then I believe he is harming the country.
