Sangrur, August 4

AAP deputy leader in the Vidhan Sabha and Jagraon MLA Sarbjit Kaur Manuke along with Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema on Saturday accused party rebel leader Sukhpal Khaira and his group members of running a defamatory campaign on social media against her. Both announced to take legal action against Khaira and his supporters.

“Insulting words along with my tampered photos are being posted on social media by activists at the Khaira’s behest. They are pressuring me to support him,” alleged Manuke.

She said: “Khaira is anti-Dalit and he is openly speaking against the community. Cheema is not acceptable to him because he is a Dalit.”

Cheema said all six MLAs, who attended the Khaira’s convention, were in touch with senior AAP leaders. “All these MLAs claimed that they were misguided by Khaira. I will take all of them along. But for running a derogatory campaign against Manuke, Khaira will have to face legal action,” he said.

Chandigarh: The AAP women wing has demanded an apology from those who used derogatory words against party MLAs Sarabjit Kaur Manuke and Rupinder Kaur Ruby.
