“I thank the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Minority Commission who showed yesterday that law still works in this country… the Minority Committee sent a notice to Punjab government for not letting me wear my turban. In Sikhs, we can’t go out without a turban,” Bagga said, as reported by news agency ANI.
Earlier in the day, Bagga’s father Preetpal Singh also attacked Kejriwal and said he is “very afraid”. He also claimed that the AAP national convenor tried to persuade Tajinder Bagga to join his party.
