While addressing the gathering of protesters, BJP MP Arvind Sharma said that Grover was targeted as Deepender Hooda lost the Lok Sabha polls because of him.

He allegedly threatened that "eye will be gouged out and hand chopped off" if anybody tried to target Grover.

While talking to reporters in Karnal on Monday, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar referred to an incident of lynching near Singhu border, when asked to comment on Sharma's remarks.
