The Punjab government has withdrawn the Z+ category security cover for Raghav Chadha, a 37-year-old Member of Parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This decision comes shortly after AAP removed him from his position as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha on April 2. Sources indicate that Punjab Police officers assigned to Chadha's security have been instructed to return to headquarters. The tensions arise from accusations against Chadha for not adequately opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government, which AAP claims he has instead engaged in 'soft PR.' In response, Chadha has labeled these allegations as 'lies,' asserting that his focus in Parliament is to address public issues rather than create disturbances.
