The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Punjab unit observer Gayatri Bishnoi on Friday vowed to drag Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira to court over his “shameless” remarks about her and the party’s state unit in-charge Manish Sisodia. The Punjab State Women’s Commission also took note, with its chief Raj Lali Gill saying it “won’t tolerate any attack on a woman’s dignity”.
No one is above the law. Strict action will be initiated in accordance with law. “Gayatri Bishnoi has been made the Aam Aadmi Party’s co-incharge in Punjab. You can see photographs of that residence, and a certificate bearing Manish Sisodia’s name is displayed there… I am surprised.
Because my father is a heart patient, “I live with my parents in Dr Balbir Singh’s bungalow [in Chandigarh]. Gayatri Bishnoi, who is president of the AAP’s Rajasthan women wing, posted a video on X saying she lives with her parents at the official residence of Health Minister Balbir Singh in Chandigarh, after Khaira said she was staying with Sisodia at a government house, Number 960 in Sector 39, allotted to minister Ravjot Singh. He’s being treated here,” Bishnoi said in the video on X, showing House No 961 allotted to the health minister. Bholath MLA Sukhpal Khaira — who was with Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP when it first made a mark in Punjab Assembly in 2017 but fell out and was removed as Leader of Opposition — had challenged Sisodia to deny that he illegally occupied a ministerial house. Where is Manish Sisodia’s wife, while he is allegedly staying in Punjab at House No 960 with another woman?
“It’s Dr Balbir’s favour to us,” she said. Replying to her post, women’s commission chairperson Raj Gill said , “Publicly maligning a woman’s character, making defamatory remarks on her life is a serious matter. “Also tell people who is living there with you,” Khaira said. Khaira said. Khaira also claimed that Ravjot Singh “couldn’t set foot inside his official residence for over two years”. “Now, Ravjot will likely be told to hold a few meetings with officers there and post photos on social media to show it belongs to him, but for two years, the minister was not even allowed entry,” he said.
