He alleged that remarks made by BJP leaders Anurag Thakur and Kapil Mishra led to problems and the atmosphere deteriorated before the riots in which 53 persons were killed.

"BJP leaders spoilt the atmosphere by making communal statements before the riots. The relationship between the leaders of Shaheen Bagh and the BJP should be investigated," he said.

Delhi BJP spokesman Harish Khurana said in a tweet that AAP and its MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj were confused. "On the one side they say that Shaheen Bagh is linked to BJP and on the other hand, Manish Sisodia had said that he was with protestors at Shaheen Bagh. They should decide first what they want to say," he said. (ANI)
