Atishi Video Row: Forensic Report Court Document, Says AAP
There's a big argument about a video of a politician named Atishi.
Some people say she disrespected Sikh Gurus in the video.
The Delhi Assembly Speaker says the video is real and not edited.
But the Punjab Police and the AAP government say it is edited.
The Speaker wants a big investigation by the CBI.
Atishi says the other party is playing dirty politics.
A court has ordered the video to be taken down for now.
The Speaker says the Punjab government acted quickly to protect its image and did not follow the right process.
He also says the court's order was based only on the Punjab report and did not give a chance to challenge it.
The AAP says the forensic report is a court document and not a political claim, and they want everyone to respect the court's decision.
Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta claims an independent forensic report confirms the video of Atishi's remarks is original and untampered.
Punjab Police and the AAP government allege the video is doctored and have registered an FIR against opposition leaders.
Gupta alleges the Punjab government acted under political pressure and fast-tracked a separate forensic probe.
The Jalandhar Sessions Court issued an interim order to remove the video clip based on the Punjab FSL report.
Gupta raises procedural concerns, questioning the authorization and process of the Punjab-led investigation.
