AAP to approach EC against BJP advertisement

New Delhi:The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Monday said it will approach the Election Commission (EC) against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over its advertisement mocking Arvind Kejriwal.

"What has happened to the BJP, first they targeted my children, but I tolerated it. Annaji has said we must have capacity to tolerate insult," Kejriwal tweeted.

"In social life, I never complained against personal insult. But this advertisement crosses the limit. They are calling the whole Agrawal caste destructive. They say I belong to a destructive subcaste," he said.

"They have insulted the Agrawal society. They must apologise," he said, adding that his party will approach the EC.

The advertisement featured a caricature of Kejriwal, saying he will disrupt the Republic Day parade, and also ask for a VIP pass next year. It used the term "upadravi gotra" or destructive subcaste alluding to Kejriwal, the former Delhi chief minister and AAP chief.
