Kiran Bedi's decision to join Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and her projection as the party's chief ministerial candidate may have excited the cadre but it has reopened old wonds in certain other quarters.
Leaders of the All Delhi Bar Association Coordination Committee have warned the party that they would launch a parallel campaign against it if Bedi didn’t apologise for her action 27 years ago.
In 1998, she, as the DCP (North), had ordered lathi-charge against a crowd of lawyers who were protesting against handcuffing of one of their colleagues.
