The Punjab BJP has turned the heat on Delhi CM and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal over the recent accusations of sexual harassment levied against his two party leaders—Sandeep Kumar and Vijay Chauhan. BJP’s National Deputy Chief and Punjab affairs incharge, Prabhat Jha today said that before entering Punjab, Aam Aadmi Party would have to clarify whether it was AAP party or PAAP party. During an informal talk with reporters in Chandigarh, Jha stated that earlier AAP had offended the youth of Punjab by terming them as drunkards, and now it was humiliating the women of the state.

Jha said that first there was the incident of Delhi Minister Somnath Bharti being accused by his wife of domestic violence and now his another minister, Sandeep Kumar, had got embroiled in a sex scandal. Jha said that even as the voice raised by Kejriwal’s own party MLA Devendra Sehrawat accusing AAP leaders of sexually exploiting women in Punjab was still afresh, accusations of money in exchange of tickets and sexual harassment of women in Punjab have surfaced against the AAP leadership.

He stated that none other than party’s former convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur had levied these accusations.Demanding probe into the accusations, Prabhat Jha said, “We have worshipped women for centuries and their dignity is supreme for us. The accusations against AAP are very serious. I ask the Punjab government and the state home minister to initiate a thorough investigation into the matter.”Jha also urged Chhotepur and Sehrawat to come forward and register their complaints with the police so that truth comes out.Jha further stated that every political party had a right to democratically contest elections, but the means which AAP has resorted to are totally unacceptable to the people of Punjab. Jha expressed happiness over the fact that AAP’s recent activities had opened the eyes of Punjab’s electorate.Jha also condemned AAP leader Ashutosh for commenting against women in his blog. Jha said that he was saddened to hear such unacceptable remarks against women from such a senior leader. Jha stated that all these events made clear the intentions of Aam Aadmi Party.
