Ambala: Health Minister Anil Vij on Monday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for one of its Punjab leader’s alleged statement against the Army Chief.
He tweeted that AAP leaders must be interrogated for their possible links with Pakistan-based terrorists.

The minister wrote on his Twitter handle that: “AAP leaders should be interrogated by intelligence agencies for their possible links with Pakistan-based terrorist groups for giving pro-Pakistan statements. They raised doubts on surgical strikes and now shamelessly commenting against the Army Chief regarding the terrorist attack in Amritsar”.

After the grenade blast in Amritsar in which three people were killed, AAP Punjab MLA Harvinder Singh Phoolka had allegedly accused Army Chief Bipin Rawat of orchestrating the attack.

However, he said on Monday that his statement had been misunderstood. He regretted the statement that might have purported to be against the Army Chief.
