Parvesh Verma defends hookah smoking, cites Jat tradition

Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma defended smoking hookah at a Diwali gathering at his residence, posting a photo on X with the caption 'Our culture, our pride', linking it to Jat traditions. AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj criticised him, citing Delhi's hookah ban. Legally, COTPA prohibits smoking in public places, not private homes.
