New Delhi, April 3: The Delhi unit of the BJP has sent senior AAP leader Atishi with a defamation notice and demanded a public apology for her assertion that she was approached by the BJP to join it through a very close person.

Virendra Sachdeva, the chief of the Delhi BJP, stated during a press conference on Wednesday in New Delhi that Atishi was served with a defamation notice demanding a public apology for her claim.

“Atishi failed to provide evidence of who approached her, how and when. The AAP is undergoing a crisis in Delhi, which is why they are making such baseless allegations out of frustration. But we will not let her get away with this,” stated Delhi BJP chief.
