New Delhi: In a slip of tongue, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said "falsehood and injustice will win" while attending the Dussehra celebrations organised by Ramlila Committee Indraprastha at IP Extension area of the capital.
In a video Atishi is heard saying, "falsehood will be victorious and injustice will always win". ETV Bharat has not verified the authenticity of the video.
She said that 'Ravana Dahan' reminds us that no matter how powerful lies seem to be it is ultimately the truth that wins. "Lord Rama taught us that we should never deviate from the path of dignity and never walk on the wrong path. We should always wage a war against the evil," Atishi said but concluded by adding, "falsehood will win, injustice will win".
Delhi BJP media head Praveen Shankar Kapoor shared Atishi'a video on social media, saying truth is what is being spoken arrogantly by the Delhi CM. "These are Atishi's real thoughts. Today, the power of Delhi is in the hands of such unrighteous people, who think that it is falsehood and injustice that are victorious". He demand the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to apologise for playing with the sentiments of Hindus. His post was also shared by many other BJP leaders on social media.
