Amritsar, June 23

Local activists and leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today burnt an effigy of Vidhan Sabha Speaker Rana KP Singh for his “dictatorial attitude and sacrilege of turbans of AAP MLAs”.

Raising slogans, they gathered at Bhandari Bridge in the evening and opposed the “manhandling” of their legislators in the Assembly yesterday.

Addressing party activists, AAP leader Inderbir Singh Nijjar said, it was a blatant attempt to scuttle the opportunity to discuss threadbare important matters pertaining to the state and its people.

Another AAP leader, HS Walia, former state president, Punjab and Chandigarh College Teacher Union, criticised the “blatant and brazen display of brutality” against elected representatives of AAP in Punjab Assembly for raising the issue of the ban imposed on MLAs Sukhpal Singh Khaira and Simarjeet Singh Bains (Lok Insaf Party) to participate in the Assembly proceedings.

It was virtually ‘jungle raaj’ in the Assembly unleashed by inept handling of the situation by the speaker of the House, which led to the unprecedented use of force to evict the AAP MLAs from the House, he said.

Another AAP leader Kuljit Singh said the way elected representatives of AAP were “ferociously assaulted” can well be described as murder of democracy.

“For this, the Chief Minister and the Speaker of the House should render an unconditional apology to not only the victimised and harassed MLAs, but also from the general public.”
