CM said that I will file a defamation case against Kejriwal and I have requested my party to allow it to do so. I am compelled to do so. He is calling me dishonest and he has put it on his Twitter handle. Opposition parties, especially AAP, intensified attacks on Channi and Congress after the Enforcement Directorate raids on relatives of CM Channi.

On this statement of Kejriwal, Channi replied that what happened now, the money has come from someone else, someone else is being raided, but he should call me dishonest by putting my photo showing the bundle of notes seized during the raid. are. Channi said that Kejriwal is calling me dishonest, had he called himself dishonest when his nephew was caught.

Channi said why are pictures of bundles of notes being put up with my pictures on social media accounts. What money did I get, what is my fault in this? Why are you dragging me into this? Some money of someone else was confiscated… There were raids at ten places in Punjab. Why are you linking me to this?
