Watch: Debunking Misinformation Peddled by AAP, BJP on Rohingya and Bangladeshis

In the aftermath of communal riots in Delhi's Jahangirpuri, AAP and BJP have been outdoing each other to demonise the persecuted communities.

Last week, bulldozers loaded with official bias rolled into the heart of India’s national capital, New Delhi. But that wasn’t the only unfortunate event.

In this episode of Checks and Balance, Saahil Murli Menghani does a six-step fact check on AAP and BJP’s claims, exposing the immediate electoral link behind their stand in two states, Delhi and Assam.
