Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Ashutosh on Monday sought to dismiss the heckling he reportedly faced by fellow party leader Rajesh Garg and his supporters as 'nothing serious'.
"Yesterday I had gone there for a meeting and my colleague and (former) MLA Rajesh Garg was there. He was denied a ticket so he was angry, he was with his supporters. He tried to do some 'hungama' and some commotion, nothing serious about it," Ashutosh told ANI here.
"When he was getting a little bit more uncomfortable, I tried to avoid the situation and left the scene," he added.
As per reports, Garg and his supporters reportedly kept Ashutosh 'hostage' for over an hour at a meeting in Rohini. The former news anchor then reportedly jumped a wall to escape the commotion.
