Gautam Gambhir strikes back at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: The chief of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Arvind Kejriwal and AAP Lok Sabha candidate Atishi take a hit from cricketer-turned politician Gautam Gambhir, for accusing him of distributing derogatory pamphlets targeting Atishi.

Gautam Gambhir, who will be contesting from East Delhi on a BJP ticket had said that, Arvind Kejriwal is a "filth" who is "outraging the modesty of a woman" to win elections.

Gautam Gambhir on the social networking site of Twitter had said, "I abhor your act of outraging a woman's modesty @ArvindKejriwal and that too your own colleague. And all this for winning elections? U r filth Mr CM and someone needs your very own jhaddo to clean ur dirty mind."

Gautam Gambhir was reacting to a charge that was leveled by the AAP which said that, he distributed the derogatory and casteist pamphlets against his rival and AAP candidate Atishi.

He added that, he feels ashamed to have a CM like Arvind Kejriwal. "I declare that if its proven that I did it [distributed derogatory pamphlets], I will withdraw my candidature right now. If not, will you quit politics?" he questioned.

During a press conference in Delhi, AAP leader Atishi broke down as she tried to read the contents stated in the pamphlet which is allegedly said to be distributed at the behest of Gautam Gambhir.

On Thursday Atishi claimed that, "They have shown how low they can stoop. Pamphlet states that 'she is very good example of a mixed breed'."
