'Ghayal hoon, isliye ghatak hoon': Raghav Chadha hits back at AAP with 'Dhurandhar' reference

New Delhi: Insisting that he goes to Parliament to create impact and not ruckus, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Saturday hit back at AAP calling its allegations against him "blatant lies" and warned his party with a 'Dhurandhar' movie dialogue, "I am injured, so I am dangerous."

His response came as AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj among others defended the party decision to strip him of Deputy Leader post in Rajya Sabha while alleging that he refused to sign Opposition notice seeking removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, walkout with Opposition and not attacking the ruling BJP.

Chadha said he initially thought of not responding to the "scripted campaign" with "same language" and "same allegations" but chose to do so as there was a possibility that some people may take it as truth if a "lie is repeated 100 times".

In a video posted on 'X', he said the claims that he did not join opposition walkouts as a "blatant lie" and showed one instance where he refused.

Challenging AAP leaders to cite even a single instance where he failed to participate, he said one could check CCTV cameras in Parliament.

On not signing the removal notice against Kumar, he said no party leader had asked him, either formally or informally, to sign it while asking if he is being singled out when six or seven of the ten AAP MPs had not signed it.

Referring to the claim that he was not raising serious issues and that he is scared to attack BJP, he said, "I have gone to Parliament to create impact and not ruckus."

He said he raised issues such as GST, income tax, air pollution in Delhi, water concerns in Punjab, public healthcare, education, railway passenger issues, menstrual health, unemployment and inflation. "Every lie will be exposed. 'Ghayal hoon, isliye ghatak hoon' (I am injured, so I am dangerous)," he said.
