On January 18, Congress media panellist Surendra Rajput shared a letter allegedly written by a BJP leader. The letter quotes Rajesh Bhatia of BJP Delhi talking about dispersing protesting farmers and putting a stop to the farmers' Tractor Rally to be held on Republic Day. Although the tweet has now been deleted, an archived version can be found here.

Congress leader Alka Lamba also shared the image, questioning whether the letter suggesting BJP's intent of violence against protesting farmers is genuine.

Several people compared the letter to Kapil Mishra's incendiary speech before the Delhi riots.

Fake letter

BJP Delhi leader Rajesh Bhatia tweeted that the viral letter is fake. He said that some miscreants took a BJP letterhead and forged his signature on a letter with objectionable language toward the protesting farmers. He condemned the disinformation and wrote that he respects his farmer brothers and sisters.

In the above complaint, Bhatia has described himself as former BJP general secretary and in-charge of the state headquarters. He also tweeted a news report about the fake letter.

A fake letter was therefore posted online calling for forceful disbanding of the farmer protests. It was falsely attributed to BJP leader Rajesh Bhatia.
