Kejriwal threatens legal action against Punjab CM for sharing his ‘doctored’ video

New Delhi, February 3

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday threatened legal action against his Punjab counterpart Amarinder Singh for allegedly sharing a “doctored” video of him on social media.

Kejriwal accused Singh of resorting to dirty politics for political survival.

In the video shared on Twitter by Singh’s media advisor Raveen Thukral, the Delhi chief minister is purportedly seen praising three new farm laws passed by the Centre.

“Day after @AamAadmiParty walkout from all-party meet, @capt_amarinder says @ArvindKejriwal is on record praising #FarmLaws, showing where their sympathies lie. Trashes claim of Delhi CM video being doctored, says their track record of U-turns on #farmers there for all to see,” Thukral said on Twitter while sharing the link of the video.
