CHANDIGARH: The Shiromani Akali Dal(SAD) MLA’s on Tuesday “removed” the turban of Congress MLA from Barnala Kewal Singh Dhillon during the scuffle that took place in the state assembly.
The Akali and Congress MLA’s were locked in hot arguments when during the zero hour leader of opposition Rajinder Kaur Bhattal raised the issue of Ludhiana violence. Kewal Singh Dhillon was on the fore front to demand resignation of deputy Chief Minister curm home minsiter Sukhbir Singh Badal who was reading his statement at that time.
Kewal Singh Dhillon later in a statement said that the turban which symbolizes Sikhs worldwide, the Turban which is the pride of the nation which our Hon’Ble Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh wears with pride and dignity, was shamefully disrespected by the representatives of the SAD-BJP . He said that today’s proceedings at the Punjab Vidhan Sabha were very disgraceful and a matter of shame for the SAD-BJP government as the biggest symbol of the Sikhs was disrespected by the SAD MLAs as they removed the turban of Kewal Singh Dhillon, Sr. Vice President of Punjab Congress and Barnala MLA. Bhattal went to an extend alleging that speaker Nirnal Singh Kahlon was party to the SAD-BJP attempt to beat up Congress MLA’s on the floor of house.

Meanwhile, Kewal Singh Dhillon said that he alongwith his party MLAs would be meeting the Hon’ble Governor of Punjab at 5 pm on Wednesday and would also write to the Speaker to take strict action against the offenders and demand an apology from the Chief Minister not to himself but the entire sikh community for such a shameful act. Moreover he would personally meet and brief the incident and the current state of affairs of Punjab to Congress President, Sonia Gandhi and Hon’ble Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.
