The Chief Election Commissioner,
New Delhi
About two days ago, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, Convener of Aam Aadmi Party had expressed fears that the opposition, especially the BJP, would release false sting operations to the media who would willingly play them out for they, the media, are completely compromised.
The fear is very real.
During the last Assembly elections we had seen how sting operations carried out by the BJP were doctored to bring the AAP candidates into disrepute.
AAP fears that there will be a repeat of the same process this time.
AAP has no objections in playing out the stings if they are true.
However, AAP does not believe, they will broadcast the true videos.
They will doctor them and then broadcast them.
AAP demands that before the videos are broadcast, they should be checked by AAP for their authenticity and then only should they be broadcast.
I feel, this is a very reasonable demand of AAP and all the media should be restrained from broadcasting any video unless it has been cleared by AAP for authenticity.
Yours sincerely,

Dear sir,
Just yesterday, I had written to you about preventing the media from publishing any matter regarding AAP candidates without first confirming the truth regarding the matter.
I am attaching items published by the TOI group regarding seizing 5000 liquor bottles form Naresh Balyan's residence during a raid by EC . Naresh Balyan is the AAP candidate from Uttamnagar.. Then they made a correction saying that the raid was from a godown not belonging to Naresh Balyan.
The Navbharat Times just confirms the above.
I have also attached a survey purported to have been carried out by Zee news wherein they have shown the BJP getting 52 seats against the AAP's 14.
The figures are completely false and they should be restrained from publishing such false surveys unless they can provide raw data.
Yours sincerely,
Radheshyam Sharma
