New Delhi: A forensic laboratory has allegedly established that videotapes which showed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Varun Gandhi making hate speeches in Pilibhit were not doctored.

The Forensic Science Laboratory in Hyderabad on Saturday submitted a report to the district magistrate of Pilibhit, saying it was Varun's voice in the tapes which showed him making speeches in Desh Nagar on March 7 and Pilibhit on March 8.

Varun, who was out on bail for the hate speeches, has always claimed that the tapes were doctored to defame him. As many as six police complaints have been filed against him in Pilibhit for the hate speeches.

Varun’s mother, BJP leader Maneka Gandhi, rejected the forensic report and claimed it was a “one-sided version” and the “entire tape is doctored”

“The entire tape is doctored, words have been interchanged… the forensic report is a one-sided version,” Maneka, MP from Aonla in Uttar Pradesh, told journalists on Sunday.

Maneka defended her son at the BJP’s national executive in New Delhi on Saturday, claiming certain party leaders wanted to make him the scapegoat for the party’s election defeat in Uttar Pradesh.

She alleged that the true reasons for the party's defeat was not being examined honestly and it had selected the wrong candidates in Uttar Pradesh.

BJP leaders Shahnawaz Hussain and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi at the party’s office bearers meeting on Friday openly criticized the party for not rejecting Varun and claimed his speeches cost them the elections in Uttar Pradesh.
