AAP demands action against Manoj Tiwari for insulting school teacher

Controversy erupted after a video purportedly showing Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari scolding a woman teacher for asking him to sing a couplet at a function went viral, prompting Aam Aadmi Party to demand action against the BJP MP by the women's panel.

In the video, posted by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Tiwari is seen taking an offence after being requested to sing at the function to launch a CCTV project. Tiwari is also seen giving a dressing down to the teacher. He later asked the teacher to get off the stage and directed the organisers to take action against her.

AAP's Dilip Pandey said: "The teacher had respectfully invited the BJP MP to sing a couplet, but she was scolded and asked to get off the stage.

We will request the National Commission for Women and the Delhi Commission for Women to take action against him so that elected representatives do not insult women," he said.
