At the same time, Jariwala has also released a video statement and clearly said that he has withdrawn his name without any pressure. He has said that after contesting the assembly elections on AAP’s ticket, the people of the constituency started calling him ‘anti-national’ and ‘anti-Gujarat’, so he has withdrawn the form following his mind. AAP’s memorandum urged the Election Commission not to accept Jariwala’s application for withdrawal of nomination and claimed that the application was submitted under “threat and pressure”.
