This picture of BJP leader #SonaliPhogat hitting a govt official with chappal poses many questions:

1) is it Indian culture or BJP culture?
2) was the police next to her helpless or complicit in the crime?
3) what gave her courage to take law into her hands – blessing from above? pic.twitter.com/7rw4sXFcXz

This woman has crossed all the limits by taking a law in her hands. She is a woman that doesn’t mean she is above law and order. She must be arrested.#ArrestSonaliPhogat pic.twitter.com/91v4ToSz4U

Sonali was seen fighting with Balsamand Market Committee Secretary Sultan Singh, who, according to her was creating procurement issues for the farmers.
She even alleged that he said demeaning things and used ‘indecent, derogatory language’.
Police was present at the scene but did not do anything to stop her from physically attacking the official.

And while Sonali has said she was trying to teach Sultan Singh a lesson in respecting women, he said that he was never disrespectful to her.
In a quote given to India Today, he noted that Sonali had made up a false narrative to make him look bad and that she was angry about something else.
Sonali Phogat called me on the side alone and accused me of rebelling against her during assembly elections and started beating me.
