In a significant political upheaval in Punjab, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers protested outside the residence of cricketer and Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh in Jalandhar, Punjab, expressing their anger over his recent switch to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The protest saw workers defacing the walls of Singh's home with the word 'Gaddar,' meaning 'traitor,' reflecting the deepening discontent among AAP supporters following the defection of seven AAP MPs, including Raghav Chadha, to the BJP. This mass exodus marks a major setback for AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, as Chadha and his colleagues invoked the two-thirds merger provision under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, allowing them to retain their Rajya Sabha seats. Chadha, a prominent figure in AAP, criticized the party for straying from its anti-corruption roots, claiming that their departure is a necessary step for honest politics.
