“When will you take action against those involved in the sacrilege of the Guru Granth Sahib, @ArvindKejriwal? You asked for 24 hours, it’s been 60 days. How much did you sell your soul for? Kejriwal ji, I will not stop questioning you till you tell me when you will imprison those who desecrated the Guru Granth Sahib,” Bagga posted in Hindi on his Twitter handle.
With the tweet, the 36-year-old posted a video of Kejriwal attacking erstwhile Punjab CM and Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi for the-then ruling dispensation’s inaction in the said case.

“The people of Punjab are extremely outraged over the Bargari case. People know that no action has been taken against the masterminds, and I don’t need to tell you who the masterminds are. Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh ji prepared a report, Channi sahab can look it up. In only 24 hours, action can be taken against the conspirators,” the Delhi CM is seen telling the media.
Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, a former Inspector General in the Punjab Police, joined the AAP in June 2021.

In the Punjab assembly elections, held this year on February 20, the AAP registered a huge win, pushing the Congress out of power. The border state is the Kejriwal-led outfit’s second provincial government, and the first outside Delhi.
