CHANDIGARH: Punjab BJP on Sunday demanded that a criminal case be registered against former cricketer and Punjabi actor Yograj Singh for allegedly making derogatory remarks against women and inciting communal passions in his speech at Singhu Border on Friday.
Singh’s speech has gone viral and he is being trolled for the remarks he made while addressing farm protesters. Lashing out at Singh, who is cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s father, Punjab BJP general secretary Subhash Sharma said his comments “demeaned womanhood in its entirety”. He demanded that Singh should be arrested immediately and said the latter “behaved like a street rogue” while addressing farmers.
He also condemned the Punjab government led by Capt Amarinder Singh for letting “anti-Hindu forces have a field day”. “There has been a spate of incidents in which Hindus’ religious sentiments have been hurt, but the government took no action. It seems that the Amarinder government is deliberately encouraging such anti-Hindu forces,” Sharma said.
