A new controversial video which could spell trouble for the Aam Aadmi Party is doing the rounds on social media.
In the video, which surfaced on Tuesday, AAP leader Shazia Ilmi said that Muslims' votes split as they were 'too secular' and they 'should become communal' and vote keeping in mind 'our own interest'.
'Don't be much secular. Muslims are too secular and they should become communal. They are not communal and do not vote for themselves. Arvind Kejriwal is ours. Muslims have remained secular for long...have voted for the Congress and helped them win. Don't be so secular and look at your house (community) this time.
'Other parties have their votebank intact and Muslim votes split. This is a controversial statement, but we should look at our own interest,' Ilmi, AAP candidate from Ghaziabad, said in the video, in which she is having a conversation with members of the Muslim community.
The Arvind Kejriwal-headed Aam Aadmi party(AAP) ticked Ilmi off and distanced itself from the controversial remarks, saying it does not endorse her views. However, Ilmi stood by her comments, which, she said is 'play of words'.
The AAP said it does not believe in this kind of politics nor does it endorse it.
'All our representatives should be careful in their choice of words so that there is no scope for misinterpretation,'

BJP hit out at the AAP leader demanding that the Election Commission must step in and act against her. 'AAP practices one thing, preaches another. With this video its clear they are also guilty of practicing communal politics ..
Congress too slammed the AAP leader calling her statements 'reckless'. 'Shazia Ilmi has said a very reckless thing,' said Congress leader Meem Afzal. 'Shazia Ilmi's comments are very childish. I am surprised that someone who belongs to such a secular family said all this,' Afzal added.
Maulana Mufti Mukarram also condemned Ilmi's statements saying, 'EC should take action. This statement needs to be condemned.'

On its Twitter account, Ms Ilmi's party clarified, 'AAP does not believe in this kind of politics nor does it endorse it.'
Ms Ilmi told NDTV that her comments were 'a play of words.' She said, 'I was making fun of this word 'secularism' which is used all the time. I said Muslims never think of themselves, they have become political slaves to a party.'
The BJP now plans to complain against Ms Ilmi's remarks to the Election Commission. 'Shazia Ilmi must give an explanation,' said BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.
