In March 2022, Shehbaz Gill made inappropriate remarks and hurled profanities against Dr Ramesh Kumar in a TV show.
During an interview related to the political situation in the country, Gill started verbally abusing Kumar, calling him a “corrupt person” and a “sell-out”.
He also repeatedly used abusive words against Kumar and also accused him of selling fake cancer medicines in Punjab.
The remarks came after Dr Ramesh Kumar severed ties with the PTI ahead of Imran Khan’s ouster as prime minister. In 2018, Kumar had left the PML-N and joined the PTI.
