New Delhi: The sting operation against Aam Aadmi Party candidates in Delhi took a new twist, as the website mediasarkar.com, instead of handing over the unedited tapes to AAP as demanded by the latter, handed them to the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi, overseeing the assembly elections.
Aam Aadmi Party, which had promised to take action against its erring candidates within 24 hours, today alleged there were several cuts and interpolations in the sting video.
AAP in a press release today announced three steps; (1) it will file a criminal defamation against the website media sarkar. (2) it will appeal to EC to intervene and stop telecast/publication/circulation of the sting video and take action against those responsible, and (3) it will appeal to News Broadcasters Association and Press Council of India to take action against news channels which broadcasted the said video.
