This case has nothing to do with Subhash Barala (Haryana BJP chief). Such an act is highly condemnable, if proved correct,” the chief minister told the media in Hisar and stoutly defended his beleaguered state BJP chief. Assuring that the accused will be punished if found guilty, Khattar reiterated that it was incorrect to link this episode with the state BJP chief. The INLD leader also questioned the state government’s role in the case and accused it of “interfering” in the probe. “Subhash Barala must resign as BJP state chief and police must take strict action against his son,” Krishna Poonia, chief of Congress women wing, said.
