Breaking: Punjab Govt Withdraws Security Cover of AAP MP Raghav Chadha Amid Political Row

In a significant political development from Punjab, the state government has withdrawn the security cover of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha. The decision comes shortly after internal party reshuffles, including his removal from the post of Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha. According to initial reports, the security withdrawal effectively ends the Z+ category protection previously provided to Raghav Chadha under state arrangements. While official detailed reasoning has not been formally released, political sources link the move to ongoing tensions within the party’s parliamentary structure and recent organisational changes. Raghav Chadha has been a prominent face of AAP in the Rajya Sabha and has played a visible role in parliamentary debates. However, in recent weeks, his position within the party structure has reportedly undergone changes, including restrictions on his role in House proceedings. The development has added to a series of political events involving AAP leaders in Punjab. Earlier in the day, enforcement action was also reported at the premises of another party MP, further intensifying the political spotlight on the state. Officials from the Punjab government have not yet issued a detailed public statement clarifying the specific security assessment that led to the withdrawal. Typically, such decisions are made based on periodic threat evaluations conducted by security agencies. The move is expected to trigger political reactions from the opposition as well as within the AAP leadership, as questions arise over internal party dynamics and security protocols for elected representatives.
