AAP says Kumar Vishwas was invited to Delhi govt's iftar party, but invite didn't reach in time

AAP MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj dismissed Kumar Vishwas' claims that he wasn't invited for Delhi government's iftar Party on Friday evening.

Bhardwaj denied the allegations after Vishwas told the media that he was not asked to attend, despite getting an invitation last year.

The MLA said, "There was a problem with the speed post. Kumar Vishwas was invited but the speed post didn't reach him."

Bhardwaj said that the Delhi government organised the event with Urdu Academy, and the invites were sent a week ago. He said that many people were invited but a few leaders including Ashutosh and Sanjay Singh didn't receive the invitations as well. He added, "Despite the confusion, while some chose to come, others didn't."

Other invitees included Sheila Dikshit, Manoj Tiwari and Vice President Hamid Ansari.

Vishwas' comments came a week after Arvind Kejriwal was seen attending a iftar party primarily hosted by suspended AAP leader Amanatuallah Khan. Khan was temporarily suspended from the party to pacify Kumar Vishwas after the Okhla MLA spoke against him.

Kejriwal and Khan were seen leaving the iftar party together which can potentially signal that the party is distancing itself from Vishwas, who was differed with the party publicly in the last few months.

The differences rose when Kumar didn't toe party lines that AAP had lost the polls because of EVM tampering. Following this, Khan had called Vishwas a 'BJP- RSS agent'.
