Bittu alleges eggs, tomatoes thrown at his convoy

Bittu claimed that eggs and tomatoes were thrown at his convoy near Batala a day earlier during his journey to Madhopur in Pathankot for the BJP’s Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra launch.

Bittu alleged that AAP supporters attacked his convoy and damaged vehicles, though the AAP has denied the allegations.

“Yesterday eggs and tomatoes were thrown at my cavalcade. Today I have returned them. If AAP workers protest against BJP leaders, rallies, and yatras, BJP workers will exercise their right to protest against the Punjab government and its leadership. We will not remain silent,” Bittu said.
