Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the Aam Aadmi Party has "stooped" to the lowest level of politics following AAP leader Rituraj Jha allegedly making a controversial statement against Puri saying Rohingya infiltrators are "Puri's relatives".

Addressing a press conference Puri said he is the person who carried Guru Granth Sahib on his head when a Gurdwara was attacked in Afghanistan. "They are saying I am having relation with them, I feel like laughing at this. I am the same person who carried Guru Granth Sahib on my head when Gurdwara was attacked in Afghanistan. I do not react to such things. There are many political discourses in politics. I think they have stooped to the lowest level," the minister said. -- ANI
