News Desk
NEW DELHI: In a shocking display of political intolerance, Indian minister Parvesh Verma publicly slapped a young citizen who attempted to question him during a public inspection of a newly constructed road in New Delhi, sparking widespread outrage across social media platforms.
According to reports from Indian media outlets, the incident unfolded rapidly as the local politician was inspecting infrastructure development.
When the unidentified youth posed probing questions regarding the project’s execution and public funds, the minister lost his composure, stepping forward to physically assault the citizen in full view of onlookers and media cameras.
The brazen public assault has triggered fierce debate regarding the conduct of elected representatives and growing intolerance toward public accountability in the region. Civil society groups and political analysts have expressed profound concern over the diminishing space for democratic questioning, warning that such authoritarian behaviour by public officials undermines public trust and sets a dangerous precedent for civil discourse.
As the incriminating video continues to circulate widely online, mounting pressure from opposition leaders and citizens’ forums demands an official inquiry and disciplinary action against the minister.
Authorities are yet to announce formal administrative measures, even as public outcry intensifies across digital and mainstream networks.
