NEW DELHI: The BJP on Sunday accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of allegedly facilitating the infiltration of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and subsequently encroaching the rights of the residents of the country.
Senior party leader Smriti Irani, in a press conference, said evidence has come to light regarding the creation of fake Aadhaar cards, voter IDs and PAN cards for illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators in Sangam Vihar.
She said complaints about the issuance of fake Aadhaar cards, PAN cards and voter IDs led to the filing of a case at the Sangam Vihar police station here in December 2024.
“During the investigation, it was discovered that fake Aadhaar cards were being produced through a shop in Rohini. When questioned, the shop owner revealed that the establishment had been facilitating the creation of Aadhaar cards for illegal infiltrators and Bangladeshis,” Irani said.
Revealing further details of the Delhi Police investigation, the BJP leader said the accused, Ranjeet and his associate, Afroz, were issuing fake birth certificates through an authorised centre, which were then used to generate fraudulent Aadhaar cards.
“A total of 26 Aadhaar update forms were found, bearing the signatures and stamps of AAP officials. Among these forms, the stamps and signatures of AAP Rithala MLA Mohinder Goyal and Bawana MLA Jai Bhagwan were discovered,” Irani said.
According to the BJP leader, 15 persons admitted that they had obtained fake Aadhaar cards and had secured the signatures and stamps of these MLAs on their update forms. Additionally, 10 people revealed that they personally went to MLA Goyal’s office and had his staff assist them in obtaining the signatures and stamps on their forms.
