Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal courted controversy on Sunday after he told participants in a ‘Jan Samvad’ programme at Dabwali village in Sirsa district to “beat up” and “send out” a worker of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Kuldeep Gadrana, executive president, AAP West Zone (Haryana), had reportedly raised his hand when Mr. Lal had sought suggestions on curbing the drug menace in the area.
In a purported video of the incident, Mr. Lal can be heard saying, “He is an AAP worker and is playing politics. Beat him up and send him out.”
