AAP and Congress Trade Accusations After Threat to Politician's Son
A political fight has erupted in Punjab after a gangster allegedly threatened to kill the son of a Congress leader.
The Congress leader accuses the ruling AAP party of letting gangsters thrive.
AAP, in turn, accuses the Congress of supporting gangsters in the past and of involvement in a murder.
The Congress leader's son denies these charges and wants an independent investigation.
Both sides are trading accusations about who is to blame for the state's alleged law and order problems.
Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa's son allegedly received death threats from gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria.
Randhawa accused Punjab's Chief Minister and AAP leader of turning Punjab into a gangster's paradise.
AAP spokesperson Neel Garg blamed Randhawa, accusing him of supporting gangsters.
AAP leader Baltej Pannu questioned Randhawa's silence regarding allegations from Jaggu's brother.
Udayveer Randhawa demanded an independent investigation into the matter.
