published on February 22, 2014

Responding to her slapping Aam Aadmi Party spokesman Ejaz Khan during a live TV debate, party leader Teena Sharma has said she has no regret about her action as Khan was misbehaving with her.  

The shocking moment came when the news anchor asked Khan to apologise to Sharma following a heated exchange between the two. On Khan’s refusal, Sharma reached out and slapped him.

When the Aaj Tak web team called up the AAP leader, Sharma said, “Khan has earned this slap. He instigated me to take this extreme step. He deserved two, not one slap.”

Detailing on how Khan instigated her, Sharma said, “Khan was misbehaving with me throughout the live TV debate. He called me mentally ill, shameless and cheap. Khan also said that I was greedy for a party ticket.”

Sharma said that the other panelists during the debate were also disapproving of Khan’s ways. “He was blacked out during the debate and the anchor asked him to apologise to me,” said Sharma.

The AAP leader said, “The show anchor told Khan that the debate would continue only if he apologised. Nonetheless, Khan refused to apologise and continued misbehaving with me. I did not have an answer to the kind of language Khan was using.”

Sharma said, “I had no other option left than slapping him. I do not regret that.”

The panel was discussing the topic ‘Does Arvind Kejriwal also indulge in caste politics?’ when the shocking incident occurred.  

The shocking video, which has already got about 4,000 hits, was uploaded by YouTube user Madan Mohan Tiwari.

It is noteworthy that Sharma, a former BJP member, had quit the saffron party to join AAP but was soon seen siding with rebel party MLA Vinod Kumar Binny.
