A video showing Tik Tok star and BJP leader Sonali Phogat slapping a Market Committee official from Hisar and later beating him with a slipper for reportedly making derogatory remarks against her, went viral on social media on Friday. In the video, the BJP leader from Adampur in Hisar is seen slapping the official and later hitting him with her slipper in full public view.
Phogat and others present with her are not seen wearing masks in the video, even as the Haryana Government has made it mandatory to wear masks in public in the wake of coronavirus pandemic.
Sharing the video on his Twitter handle, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “Exploits of the leaders of the Khattar Government.
The BJP leader from Adampur in Hisar is beating the Market Committee official like animals. “Is doing government job a crime? Will (Chief Minister) Khattar take action? Will the media still remain silent?” he tweeted.
The BJP leader, however, told media persons in Hisar that she had gone to meet the officials of the district Market Committee on Friday pertaining to some grievance of farmers. She said an official was showing her the place in the Balsamand area of Hisar district where a shed could come up for the convenience of farmers when he started passing indecent and derogatory remarks against her.
Phogat claimed the official also made some comments against another woman official of the Market Committee and a woman minister in the Manohar Lal Khattar-led cabinet.
