Cong minister’s picture used without consent
Punjab Leader of Opposition and senior congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa’s picture was used in an advertisement on treating impotence on Facebook. Bajwa stated it was a cheap tactic either by his political opponents or some individuals acting at their behest to defame him. He alleged in his complaint to the Chandigarh Police that the advertiser was fully aware that he had never taken any such kind of treatment and also knew he was well known.
