Panag took to Twitter and defend Kher writing. “She has been a dutiful MP & her attendance record in Parliament is over 75 per cent”. Panag wrote, “Yes@KirronKherBJP is an actress. But, she has been a dutiful MP & her attendance record in Parliament is over 75 per cent. Further, she spends most of her time in Chandigarh. There have been many good parliamentarians from a plethora of professions – including the film industry.”

In another tweet, Panag wrote “Denigrating someone for their profession is not in good taste. Electoral discourse needs to rise above this kind of talk. It needs to be about real issues. Not personal attacks and whataboutery.” Panag also tweeted in a separate tweet, “And no friends, I’m not planning on joining the BJP. Just saying what needs to be said. Happy Monday.”

Tweet of Panag came after Kejriwal had said that Kher was just acting like a politician as BJP MP from Chandigarh.
