The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of staging a "fake protest" in Mumbai and unlawfully blocking roads. The party also praised a woman who confronted BJP workers during the demonstration.

Addressing the media, AAP Mumbai president Preeti Sharma Menon questioned why the BJP was allegedly allowed to protest on city roads while other groups are restricted to designated venues such as Azad Maidan.
