Punjab govt (AAP) withdraws Raghav Chadha’s security. Centre may give Z cover in Delhi & Punjab, Y+ elsewhere. He removed as RS Deputy Leader, replaced by Ashok Mittal amid party rift.
The Punjab government led by the Aam Aadmi Party has withdrawn the security cover for Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha. Meanwhile, there is now discussion that the Central Government may provide him Z-category security. As per the emerging arrangement, Chadha is expected to receive Z security cover in Delhi and Punjab, while Y-plus security may be applicable in other locations.
The security withdrawal comes from the government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Recently, the Aam Aadmi Party also removed Chadha from the post of Deputy Leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha and restricted him from speaking in the House. He has been replaced by Ashok Mittal as the party’s Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha.
In a related development, the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids on Ashok Mittal’s residence in Jalandhar and at his private university on the same day.
