Under all-round attack over his anti-Muslim speeches, BJP Lok Sabha candidate Varun Gandhi today said the video footage was "doctored" and a "political conspiracy" has been hatched to malign him.

"I have been a victim of a political conspiracy. Those are not my words and that is not my voice. I have not made any communal statement," Varun, a scion of the estranged Gandhi family and a saffron party candidate from Pilibhit, told reporters here.

"It has been doctored. It has been a malicious attempt to brand me as communal. There is no question of my having any ill feeling towards (any) community," he said.
