AAP protests erupt in Jalandhar after BJP switch, homes of rebel MPs targeted

AAP workers staged protests in Jalandhar and Ludhiana, targeting cricketer-turned-politician Harbhajan Singh and educationist Ashok Mittal who defected to the BJP. Protesters spray-painted derogatory remarks on the walls of Harbhajan Singh's residence and the main gate of Lovely Professional University's campus in Phagwara. Local AAP leaders led the demonstrations, echoing Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's charge that the defectors had "backstabbed" the party for personal interests.
