New Delhi : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has now been provided Z category security cover by the Centre based on an existing threat perception, according to sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs. The security will be extended in both Delhi and Punjab, with paramilitary forces assigned for his protection. The development comes just hours after the Punjab government, led by the AAP, withdrew Chadha’s earlier Z+ category security cover, which had been provided by the state police.
However, sources indicated that this cover was withdrawn last week, amid an escalating rift within the party. The Centre’s move to grant him Z category security shortly after has drawn attention in political circles. The security reshuffle coincides with Chadha’s removal as deputy leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha, a decision that has further intensified his differences with the party leadership.
AAP leaders have accused Chadha of not adequately raising Punjab’s concerns in Parliament and adopting what they described as a “soft” approach instead of aggressively opposing the Centre.
They also alleged that he had avoided participating in key opposition actions, including walkouts and signing notices against constitutional authorities. Raghav Chadha has strongly rejected these allegations, calling them “lies” and asserting that his role as a parliamentarian is to raise public issues constructively rather than engage in disruptions. Adding to the political intrigue, Chadha recently commented “interesting thought” on a video suggesting he should float his own political party, fuelling speculation about his future within AAP.
