Stretchers out in Punjab House

“AAP MLAs and the Akalis are conspiring to disrupt proceedings of the House. Action should be taken against all legislators who have been breaking Assembly rules and throwing papers at the Speaker, besides creating a ruckus over non-issues Capt Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister

If elected representatives are treated like this, imagine how the ruling party will behave with the commoners. Turbans of MLAs came off… it’s an insult to the Sikh communitySukhbir Singh Badal, Akali Dal president

Any effort to disrupt the House proceedings for petty political interests would not be tolerated. Anarchist activities (by Opposition MLAs) are against the sanctity of the august HouseRana KP Singh, Vidhan Sabha Speaker

Marshals attacked AAP leaders on the Speaker’s directions. They removed turbans of five MLAs and misbehaved with women legislators. I thank the SAD and SGPC for showing support and concernHS Phoolka, Leader of opposition

Badal has forgotten how his party legislators had, in June 1986, dragged the then Speaker Surjit Singh Minhas from his chair. In the melee, Minhas’ turban had come off. Badal never apologised for that. Now, he is shedding crocodile tears… the entire drama was enacted by the SAD and AAPSunil Jakhar, PPCC president

I have never seen such a brazen display of brutality unleashed against elected representatives, and that too in the temple of democracyBir Devinder Singh, former Deputy Speaker

Turban is the pride of a Sikh. It is unfortunate that turbans are tossed at a place from where the elected members enact laws and take vital decisions for the state. The incident is condemnable. I demand stern action against the marshals involved in the actGiani Gurbachan Singh, Akal Takht jathedar
