AAP chants 'Modi mar gaya' as CBI grills Sisodia, BJP hits back

Police on Sunday detained several AAP leaders, including Sanjay Singh and Gopal Rai, protesting near the CBI office where Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is being questioned in the Delhi excise policy scam case.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers were heard chanting "Modi Mar Gaya" during protest against the questioning of Manish Sisodia by the CBI in connection with alleged excise policy scam today.

Taking to Twitter, BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala shared a video of AAP workers abusing PM Modi through objectionable chants.

In the caption, he pointed out that after the Congress abused PM Modi several times, the AAP workers have also come down to the same lines.

"After Congress now AAP workers use obnoxious slogans against PM Modi. "Modi Marr Gaya" chants! 1st Celebration of Corruption, then victim card & now gaali politics? To defend Sharab Ghotala? Shameful!," he tweeted.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, "Today, AAP used the very unfortunate words 'mar ja Modi'. What are they trying to prove? Is it an attempt to hide their own corruption? Earlier, Congress leaders also used derogatory language towards our Prime Minister, which is truly unfortunate."

Police on Sunday detained several AAP leaders, including Sanjay Singh and Gopal Rai, protesting near the CBI office where Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is being questioned in the Delhi excise policy scam case. Section 144 has been imposed in the south district, the police said.

The protesters were detained to ensure that the law and order situation doesn't go out of hand, they said.

The CBI on Sunday began its second round of questioning of Sisodia in connection with the excise policy scam case.

He arrived at the heavily-barricaded CBI office after paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat, officials said.

The AAP leader, accused number one in the CBI FIR, was earlier questioned on October 17, a month before the agency filed its charge sheet on November 25.

The CBI had not named Sisodia in the charge sheet as the central probe agency kept the probe open against him and other suspects and accused.
