Chandigarh, April 15: Days after a verbal spat between MP Raghav Chadha and the AAP over his removal from the post of deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, the Punjab government has withdrawn his Z-plus category security cover, it has been learnt.
Meanwhile, sources in Delhi said that Chadha may be provided a security cover by the central government.
Chadha is a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab and was accorded by the state government a Z-plus category security cover.
The cover was withdrawn a few days ago, sources said.
The Aam Aadmi Party on April 2 announced the replacement of Chadha with MP Ashok Mittal for the post of deputy leader in Rajya Sabha.
Chadha said he had been “silenced, not defeated”, attracting a retort by his party, which accused him of engaging in “soft PR” and restraining himself from raising his voice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre in Parliament. (PTI)
