AAP should be renamed as Muslim League: BJP's Kapil Mishra

New Delhi/IBNS: Even after suffering a 48-hour campaign ban earlier in the run up to Delhi assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Model Town constituency, Kapil Mishra, on Monday said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) should be renamed as Muslim League.

In a tweet, Mishra said in Hindi, "The new name of Aam Aadmi Party should be Muslim League. People who consider Umar Khalid, Afzal Guru, Burhan Wani, terrorists as their bosses are fearing Yogi Adityanath."

Mishra's comment came after the AAP sought a ban on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath over his alleged provocative speeches while campaigning for Delhi polls.

In a recent comment, Adityanath while campaigning for his party BJP said, "If words won't work then bullets will."

AAP leader Sanjay Singh said, "The Election Commission should look into it and ban Adityanath from campaigning."

Mishra was earlier banned from campaigning after he compared the Delhi polls with a contest between India and Pakistan.

He had also accused the AAP of creating Shaheen Bagh-like "mini Pakistans" in the national capital.

Delhi's Shaheen Bagh is the site where several Muslim women and men are protesting against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which aims to grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain,Parsi but not Muslim refugees who came to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before 2015, for more than a month.
