Chandigarh, November 21, 2017: Istri Akali Dal workers today braved police barricades as well as police personnel in an attempt to reach alleged drug accused AAP leader Sukhpal Khaira’s residence even as they announced they would not let him enter the Vidhan Sabha in the forthcoming winter session in case he did not resign forthwith.
Istri Akali Dal workers led by its president Bibi Jagir Kaur tried to cross the barricades put up by the Chandigarh police when they were stopped after staging a march from the SAD head office here to Sukhpal Khaira’s residence. The women workers, who were holding placards with Khaira’s picture staged a sit in to register their protest.
She appealed to Vidhan Sabha Speaker Rana K P Singh to direct Khaira not to enter the Vidhan Sabha premises on November 27 when its winter session starts as he was tainted with drug charge.
She said in case Kejriwal did not remove Khaira from the post of Leader of Opposition and expel him from the primary membership of the party it would be assumed that the party was receiving drug money as funding.
