The BJP national general secretary has written to Governor Banwarilal Purohit and the Chief Election Commissioner over the issue, seeking legal action, including registration of an FIR, against the Aam Aadmi Party leader.

In a separate statement, the BJP leader alleged that a Cabinet minister of Punjab is making a mockery of law, and he must be dismissed.?

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should tender an apology, he said.
