BJP Denies Report of Military Faces for Women-Centric Campaign
A news report stated the BJP would use two military officers, Colonel Qureshi and Wing Commander Singh, for their campaign.
However, a BJP leader, Amit Malviya, said this wasn't true and called the report 'fake.'
The original story had misinterpreted comments by another BJP member, Jamal Siddiqui.
The BJP clarified that while the officers are not campaign faces, the focus remains on empowering women.
Amit Malviya refuted a Times of India report as 'fake news'.
The report claimed Col. Qureshi and Wg. Cdr. Singh would be BJP campaign faces.
Malviya clarified that the BJP has no such plans.
Comments by Jamal Siddiqui were misinterpreted by the media.
Siddiqui only highlighted Col. Qureshi as an example of an empowered woman.
