AAP has rebuked the BJP's claim that smoke from Haryana reaches Pakistan and from Punjab reaches Delhi, calling the remarks baseless.
AAP has taken to the floor to counter a recent remark by the BJP that the smoke from Haryana reaches Pakistan while the smoke from Punjab reaches Delhi. The statement was made by BJP leaders during a press conference earlier this week.
In its response, the AAP leadership dismissed the claim as unfounded, emphasizing that such assertions are politically motivated and lack any factual basis. The party urged the public to focus on substantive issues rather than sensationalized rhetoric.
The BJP’s comment drew criticism from opposition parties across the country, with several leaders calling for a fact‑check on the claim. AAP’s rebuttal is part of a broader strategy to challenge what it sees as misinformation from the ruling party.
The exchange highlights the escalating political rhetoric between the two parties, as both sides prepare for upcoming elections. AAP’s swift response aims to consolidate its stance on environmental and cross‑border concerns.
