The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, 10 May, sent a legal notice to BJP and it’s East Delhi candidate Gautam Gambhir over allegations that he had distributed derogatory and casteist pamphlets against the party’s Atishi.

The AAP has sought an apology from them in writing and asked them to publish the same 'along with true and correct facts' in newspapers, within 24 hrs.

This comes a day after Gambhir sent a defamation notice to Atishi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia over AAP’s allegations.

The cricketer-turned-politician had stated earlier on Thursday that he would definitely file a defamation case against them.

Addressing a press conference earlier in the day, Atishi broke down, stating that the pamphlet has shown how low the BJP can stoop.
