Sidhu said the AAP government had implemented one of the three farm laws in Delhi and then did a drama of tearing the copy of the law in the assembly.

However, giving a beffiting reply to Sidhu over his remarks, Chadha said the Congress reprimanded the Punjab Congress Chief for his constant rhetoric against CM Amarinder Singh, that’s why today they are after Arvind Kejriwal for change.

The tweet read: The Rakhi Sawant of Punjab politics -Navjot Singh Sidhu- has received a scolding from Congress high command for non stop rant against Capt. Therefore today, for a change, he went after Arvind Kejriwal. Wait till tomorrow for he shall resume his diatribe against Capt with vehemence.

The former cricketer has surrounded the Arvind Kejriwal government on the farmers laws, saying that at the time when the farmers were agitating on the borders of Delhi, the Kejriwal government issued a notification to implement one of the 3 agricultural laws of the Center.

Sidhu’s attack on Kejriwal comes a day after he accused Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal, his party and his family of laying the groundwork for the farm laws.

The AAP said the notification allowed farmers to sell crops at markets of their choice, it argued. However, soon the political rivals slammed AAP government for its double standards as Kejriwal had openly supported the farmers in their protests.

Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today sought a detailed probe from Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora in relation with the alleged defamatory social media post made by Congress’s Supriya Shrinate against actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

Reportedly, BJP candidate from New Delhi Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG seeking probe and registration of an FIR against Shrinate for outraging the modesty of a woman. Subsequently, the Delhi LG has forwarded the complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner, directing a scientific investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary.

Reports said that the Delhi Police will also investigate who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose. A major controversy erupted on Monday after an objectionable post from Supriya Shrinate’s social media handle against Kangana Ranaut, who has been announced as the BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi.

Responding to the remarks, Kangana Ranaut said that they must free the daughters from the shackles of prejudices and must rise above the curiosity about their body parts. She added that people must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur. She concluded that every woman deserves her dignity. As the controversy intensified, the Congress leader asserted that someone else had posted the objectionable content from her handle. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her derogatory remarks against Kangana Ranaut.
