Chandigarh: 05-12-11 : Mrs Harsimrat Kaur Badal MP (Bhatinda) should give a public apology on the incident of Akali sarpanch slapping the EGS teacher Varinder Kaur in Daula Village of Gidderbaha Constituency yesterday. Condemning the incident Dr Malti Thapar, President Mahila congress Punjab said that this shameful incident has depicted the actual picture of the Member of Parliament who gives three minute long advertisements on various television channels and full page advertisements in print media for promoting the female foeticide (Nanhi Chaan). The brutality on the women that too in her constituency and an Akali Sarpanch slaps peacefully protesting teacher in front of the media shows the goondaraj of the present regime.
