New Delhi: Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari on Thursday launched a fresh attack on the AAP government, following the Delhi government's request of one month's time in granting permission to authorities in moving the JNU sedition case forward.



In a statement, Tiwari alleged that the state government in the Capital is misusing its position to deliberately shield Kanhaiya Kumar, the prime accused in the case and that this goes to show where the Kejriwal government's sympathies truly lie.

Accusing the AAP government of siding with anti-national forces, the MP from North-East Delhi said that it is disrespecting the judiciary by asking for more time in granting requisite permissions.

Tiwari also connected Congress' promise of scrapping sedition laws to the Delhi government's stance on Kumar's ongoing sedition. He added that the people of the country have a choice between a nationalistic party like the BJP and the opposition in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

"Aam Aadmi Party is deliberately delaying permission to prosecute Kanhaiya Kumar and Kejriwal is also ready to campaign for Kumar. We will have to watch in which direction the politics of the country is going."
