She was in Ambala’s Jandali to inaugurate a service center in ward 15 by party leader advocate Puneet, and was reacting to the incident where Punjab BJP MLA Arun Narang was allegedly beaten up and stripped by farmers.

“Violence is unacceptable in any situation but BJP leaders leaving no stone unturned in issuing provocative statements against farmers is also wrong. First they provoked the farmers and now when there is a reaction, the leaders are trying to act innocent.”

She hit-out at BJP for naming Congress in the incident and said that she was waiting to see when the saffron party will blame Nehru for the attack.

On party’s organisational structuring in districts, Selja said the process has been started with appointments of observers, a report will be taken, and a decision is expected soon.
