In today’s featured cartoon, R. Prasad mocks how Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP government in Delhi is allegedly ‘using’ the Punjab Police for political purposes, after the party came to power in that state in March. Punjab Police had reportedly arrested BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga Friday, over a case that was registered against him for his statements last month against Kejriwal, related to the movie ‘The Kashmir Files’. The Punjab Police were stopped by the Haryana Police before the Delhi Police took Bagga back home.
Satish Acharya also refers to the highway drama that took place over the arrest of Bagga. The Delhi Police filed an FIR against Punjab Police personnel for “abducting” Bagga before bringing him back to the national capital.
Sandeep Adhwaryu also comments on the Bagga arrest incident, in which the BJP has accused Delhi CM of misusing the Punjab Police.
