Sarpanch throws dupatta in protest
Woman sarpanch of Bani village threw her dupatta towards CM Manohar Lal Khattar during his Jan Samvad programme in Sirsa district. The sarpanch, Naina Joharh, began her speech with the demands of the village, but when she raised the issue related to an alleged assault on her husband recently, the CM tried to interrupt her. “Yadi aap nahi sunoge to ek Hindustani aurat ki izzat hoti hai uska dupatta; aur ye raha mera dupatta aapke kadmo me,” she said. Immediately, women police personnel brought her down from the stage. According to information, her husband, Rajiv Joharh, was reportedly assaulted in connection with some village election-related rivalry.
