Hoshiarpur, September 29
An effigy of Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was burnt at Ghantaghar Chowk in Hoshiarpur by members of the BJP SC Morcha on Wednesday. Morcha secretary Surinder Pal Bhatti said the CM was accompanied by his bodyguards wearing shoes when he went to pay obeisance at the Valmiki shrine in Amritsar.
By doing this at the Valmiki pilgrimage site, the dignity of the pious centre was violated, he said. Bhatti threatened that if Chief Minister Channi did not apologise, more protests will be organised across the state.
