"Criminals Do": Punjab Chief Minister On Navjot Sidhu's 'Wet Pants' Jibe

"Those who are criminals and anti-social elements... their pants become wet on seeing a Punjab police officer," Charanjit Channi said on Friday
The question of who frightens whom into soiling their pants - police or criminals - is now the subject of a surreal back-and-forth between Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Channi and state Congress chief Navjot Sidhu, whose spat rumbles on even with an Assembly election due in two months. #WATCH | It's very shameful that a senior leader insults police force that provides him protection.

On Friday Mr Channi hit back after Mr Sidhu's brag last month that MLA Navtej Singh Cheema could "make a policeman wet his pants". Mr Channi urged the police to not bother with the comment, and assured them that it was, in fact, criminals who wet their pants on seeing them.
"Those who are criminals and anti-social elements... their pants become wet on seeing a Punjab police officer," the Chief Minister said at a function at the Punjab Armed Police (PAP) complex.
Mr Channi's retort comes after Navjot Sidhu's declaration at a campaign event in Kapurthala district.
