A livid Congress candidate Raj Babbar on Monday lashed out at cops for videographing him during his campaign in Vijay Nagar area of Ghaziabad. Actor-turned-politician Babbar, the Congress candidate for Ghaziabad lok Sabha constituency, lost his cool when he was addressing a gathering in a house located in Vijay Nagar area.
When Babbar was speaking to local residents, he noticed some policemen, including a sub-inspector, videographing him which made him angry. “Jo aparad karnewale hain, unko toh rokenge nahi… Sharam nahi aati hai inko… Aye din Ghaziabad ka naam badnam ho raha hai… Topi aur vardi pehan ke ghum rahen hain ye log (They (policemen) don’t nab those involved in crime... They should be ashamed of themselves. The image of Ghaziabad is deteriorating by the day. Despite this, they wear the uniform,” Babbar said.
Babbar said he was not a criminal that policemen should videograph him during campaigning. “Can I not appeal for votesIJ Am I a thief or a criminalIJ Is any case against meIJ So, why have they come to videograph meIJ” he asked. Meanwhile, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Ghaziabad Dharmendra Singh said an investigation into this matter has been ordered.
