Earlier today, while speaking to , Sharma strongly criticised the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress leader Kamal Nath for his "item" remark on BJP leader Imarti Devi.

"This is disgraceful for him (Kamal Nath). It shows the character of the person saying it. Instead of saying sorry, he is giving a useless explanation. His party should take strict action against him," said NCW chief.
