Parineeti Chopra backs Raghav Chadha: Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra has publicly backed her husband and AAP MP Raghav Chadha, almost a day after he was removed as the party’s Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha. The development comes on Friday, after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) appointed Punjab MP Ashok Mittal to the role and notified about the same to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat.

Chadha’s ‘Silenced, not defeated’ video raises questions
On Friday, Chadha took to ‘X’ and Instagram to share a video montage of his parliamentary interventions, underscoring the issues he has consistently raised in the House. His clip outlined concerns ranging from the tax burden on the middle class and banking penalties to food adulteration, air pollution, data privacy and rising costs in healthcare and aviation. Towards the end of the video, Chadha was seen walking out of the Parliament, accompanied by a symbolic caption and the words: “Silenced, Not Defeated.”
In a pointed statement, he also questioned the rationale behind his removal, asking whether raising public issues in Parliament had become a crime? He maintained that his interventions were always intended to benefit citizens.
