Taking to Twitter, the SAD leader took a jibe at AAP by calling them as "fake revolutionaries".
"As if false advertorials, ad ban's & registration of cases against media men were not enough, now AAP is forcing media to black out Zira protest against polluting distillery. The greed of fake revolutionaries is such that they will sacrifice lives of Pbis to earn a quick buck," he said in a tweet.
