'Unbreakable': Saurabh Bhardwaj slams BJP over documentary

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj

New Delhi: AAP leader and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Saturday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party is "nervous" about the documentary titled 'Unbreakable' which is based on the time when AAP leaders including former CM Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, and others, went to jail.

'Documentary made on the 'conspiracy'

Bhardwaj said that the documentary is made on the "conspiracy" to send AAP leaders to prison. He added that BJP does not want public to see it.

"Some people hatched a conspiracy to send Aam Aadmi Party leaders to jail.

A documentary was made on this...I have never heard about the police stopping a screening...BJP is very nervous about this documentary and does not want the public to see it but we have resolved to show it to the public," Bhardwaj said.

Delhi Police

Earlier in the day, Delhi police said that "no permission" was taken for the screening of the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) documentary 'Unbreakable' and hence its screening would have been a 'violation of guidelines'.

The police emphasised that the political parties have to apply for permission for such events through a single window system at the District Election Officer's (DEO) office, adding that the police can neither grant nor reject such permission at this time.

Following a police statement, the ruling AAP alleged that the Delhi Police banned the screening of the documentary at the "behest" of its primary opponent, BJP.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal clarified that this film screening was not an election event rather it was a private event.

Addressing a press conference today, Kejriwal said that the movie wasn't an election campaign and there was no election flag, speech or election propaganda present at the movie screening site.

Reiterating his claim that the BJP is "scared" of this film as it exposes "illegal and unconstitutional actions" of the BJP government, Kejriwal condemned the way film screening was stopped. (With Agency Inputs)
