BJP MLA O P Sharma on Monday assaulted a CPI leader outside Patiala House court in New Delhi.
A day after Om Prakash Sharma assaulted a CPI leader outside Patiala House Court complex in New Delhi, the BJP MLA from Vishwas Nagar on Tuesday defended his act. He said, “When I was getting out of the court, the person whose name I didn’t know was raising ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogan. When I told him not to do so and despite explaining when he didn’t listen, in that moment a fight broke out in which I was hurt,” said Sharma.

Koi hamari Ma ko gaali dega to kya usey maaroge nahin (I would have opened fire if I had a gun. If someone abuses our mother, won’t I beat him up).”
