The application, moved by party leader Pankaj Gupta, complained against the circulation of the fake videos of Delhi government schools by BJP leaders to "falsely defame Delhiites".

AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh told media that the BJP has been "completely baffled" by Delhi's education model, and "Shah is running a campaign to insult" the 16 lakh children of Delhi, the 32 lakh parents of Delhi and the thousands of teachers.

"This shows that in these elections in Delhi, BJP is a party without any mission or vision. It's difficult to even imagine that the Union Home Minister is circulating a fake video and insulting the entire education system of Delhi. Shah is insulting all those children of Delhi government schools who are working hard and showing better results than even private schools. It is also insulting to all parents and teachers of Delhi. Shah should apologize to all people and students, teachers and parents in Delhi for insulting them for their shameless conduct," he said.

Singh said that AAP leaders met Election Commission and demanded that Amit Shah be banned for 48 hours from campaigning.

"FIR should also be lodged against all their leaders who made and circulated such fake videos and all such tweets be deleted," he added.
