A video showing Minister Parvesh Verma slapping a young man during a road inspection in Delhi’s Tilak Nagar has gone viral. The minister has now clarified the incident, claiming that the individual abused his family, prompting him to react in the heat of the moment. He further stated, “I want to tell the Aam Aadmi Party that our government is accomplishing the work you failed to do; that is why it is causing you such distress. However, if anyone speaks ill of my family, this is exactly what will happen.” Following the video and his explanation, opposition parties—including AAP, Congress, and the SP—have launched a scathing attack, criticizing the Delhi government minister over the slapping incident.
