Bathinda residents boycott BJP leader Sukhpal Sra over statement
Bathinda, January 9
The Sheesh Mahal Residents Welfare Society has taken a decision to boycott BJP leader Sukhpal Sra, who lives in a rented house in the colony. They have told his landlord to get the house vacated at the earliest.
Sra is facing flak from various quarters over his statement during a TV debate in which he allegedly drew a parallel between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Guru Gobind Singh.
Society members today held a meeting under the chairmanship of Charanjit Singh. They said he had given an irresponsible statement on TV, which had led to unrest among community members. They have asked Sra to clear his stand or tender an apology on the issue.
They also demanded that to stop protesters, barricading should be done near the house of the BJP leader, not at the main gate of the colony.
Meanwhile, villagers of Gurusar Sainiwala village along with members of the Dal Khalsa and other organisations, too, announced to boycott the BJP leader.
Refuting the allegation, he said: “I have sent the video of the debate to the Akal Takth,” He said he apologised to anyone whose sentiments were hurt. Meanwhile, the police have booked Sra. — TNS
