Delhi Slapgate: FIRs Filed, Political Tensions Soar!
A Delhi minister faces a non-cognizable report for an alleged slap, sparking outrage. Meanwhile, FIRs are registered against AAP MLAs for assaulting a police officer. Political temperatures are rising!
A significant political uproar has gripped the capital following an alleged incident involving PWD Minister Parvesh Verma, who reportedly slapped a 22-year-old man in Tilak Nagar. The Delhi Police have taken action, filing a non-cognizable report (NCR) against Minister Verma based on a complaint lodged by Sahib Singh, the individual who accused the minister of assault. The incident has ignited a fierce political blame game.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal vehemently condemned the alleged act, demanding Verma's immediate dismissal and arrest.
Kejriwal also criticized the quality of road work in Tilak Nagar, which he claimed was substandard, hinting at the context surrounding the altercation. He questioned how the Prime Minister could connect with Gen Z if ministers were resorting to such actions.
Adding another layer to the escalating controversy, FIRs have been registered against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs Jarnail Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj. The charges stem from allegations of assaulting a police officer, an accusation that further intensifies the already strained relationship between the ruling party and the opposition in Delhi.
In response to the developments, the AAP has announced plans to march to the police chief's office today, demanding that a formal First Information Report (FIR) be registered against Parvesh Verma. This move underscores the party's determination to escalate the matter and pressure authorities for a more stringent legal action against the PWD Minister.
The 'slap row' has thus quickly evolved into a major political flashpoint, drawing widespread attention and debate across the city's political landscape.
