The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday asked the Election Commission to ban Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning in the national capital over his alleged provocative speeches and sought his arrest.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh Singh said it has been 48 hours since his party sought time from the Election Commission for a meeting but it has not been granted.
"He (Adityanath) must be arrested for his communal speeches. We have lodged a complaint with the EC," he said.
Adityanath on Saturday had alleged that those who supported terrorists in Kashmir were staging protest in Shaheen Bagh and raising slogans of ''azadi'.
The UP chief minister had also attacked his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal, alleging that he and his party were siding with protesters at Shaheen Bagh and that a Pakistan minister and AAP were speaking on similar terms.
Singh said, "From Uttar Pradesh, Yogi manorogi (mentally-ill) came to Delhi. What all abusive and divisive things he is saying? He said Arvind Kejriwal is connected to Pakistan.
"We don't know how BJP leaders get all information about Pakistan. If what Yogi speaks is right, it should be proven. Otherwise he should desist from talking such nonsense."
