A fresh political controversy has erupted in Haryana after a statement by BJP Rajya Sabha MP Rekha Sharma triggered strong reactions from supporters of former Chief Minister Bhajan Lal. The remark, termed objectionable by his supporters, has quickly escalated into a political flashpoint.
Angered by the statement, Bhajan Lal’s supporters gathered in Panipat and lodged a formal complaint at the city police station. Protesters alleged that the comment insulted not just a former Chief Minister but also hurt the sentiments of his supporters across the state. They have demanded immediate legal action and a public apology.
Supporters warned that if no action is taken, the protest could intensify in the coming days. The issue has now become a subject of intense political debate, with pressure mounting on BJP leadership to clarify its stand. Whether Rekha Sharma will issue a clarification or apology remains to be seen.
