Senior INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala played down an apparent rift within the Chautala family Friday, saying his nephews Dushyant and Digvijay are "our children", but asserted that anyone violating the party discipline will face action.
The rift within the Chautala family came to the fore Thursday, when INLD president Om Prakash Chautala dissolved the party's student and youth wings headed by Dushyant and Digvijay respectively.
Abhay Singh Chautala is the younger son of Om Prakash Chautala.
Dushyant and Digvijay are sons of Ajay Singh Chautala, Abhay's elder brother.
"There are no differences with Dushyant (and Digvijay), they are our children," Abhay Singh Chautala said.
However, he added, "discipline is our party's biggest strength. If any person violates that, party will take action."
Abhay Singh Chautala said the student and youth wings were asked to ensure a smooth conduct of the rally. "When they failed, Chautala Sahab took the step."
