  • "Your term is over, now they will not even look at you," Sanjay Singh wrote while sharing the video
  • BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya lashed out at Sanjay Singh and called him 'fake news peddler'
  • Malviya shared a longer version of the video which showed PM Modi welcoming Kovind with folded hands

Sanjay Singh Twitter video: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday engaged in a war of words after Sanjay Singh shared an edited clip of outgoing President Ram Nath Kovind greeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The video was in context with Kovind's farewell ceremony. 

In the video, leaders could be seen greeting the outgoing president at the farewell ceremony in the Central Hall of Parliament. The video also showed PM Narendra Modi standing, while other Members of Parliament (MPs) - including Union Minister Piyush Goyal, welcomed the President with folded hands.

Posting the video, AAP MP Sanjay Singh wrote, "Such an insult. Very Sorry Sir. These people are like this, your term is over, now they will not even look at you."

Meanwhile, the BJP's IT cell was quick to correct Singh on the video shared by him. 

BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Pary and called Singh a 'fake news peddler'. 

Sharing the longer version of the video which shows PM Modi welcoming Kovind with folded hands before all other leaders, Malviya asked in a tweet, "Fake news peddler Sanjay Singh at it again. Whose (from Kejriwal to Sisodia) lies are caught every day, and habit of tolerating humiliation, how do you know the way people are respected?"

The Parliament hosted a farewell to President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday evening. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, and Members of Parliament - both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha - attended the farewell ceremony in the Central Hall of Parliament.

Earlier on Sunday, Sanjay Singh also lashed out at the Centre for spreading hatred toward the Kejriwal government. 

"PM Modi ji is afraid of (Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor) Arvind Kejriwal ji and does anything without any logic," Singh said.

"Like till now, he has levied 150+ fake cases against AAP leaders. Similarly, the Centre has also levelled fabricated allegations on Manish Sisodia ji. In the case of Satyendar Jain ji, one of their leaders had apologized," Singh added.

Union minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday had lashed out at Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and accused him of shielding deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia after Delhi's lieutenant governor VK Saxena recommended a CBI probe into the Delhi Excise Police, 2021-22 over alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses.
