Amritsar, August 9

A unit of the Istri Akali Dal held a protest against Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira over derogatory remarks against SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur, here on Monday. Assembled at the Bhandari Railway Over Bridge, they raised slogans against Khaira, burnt his effigy and sought an apology from Khaira. Istri Akali Dal senior vice-president Bibi Jaswinder Kaur Sohal said such protests would be replicated across the state. She said Bibi Jagir Kaur is a president of the top most Sikh institution, while Khaira is a proven turncoat, who had lobbied with various parties and managed to join Congress. TNS
