SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal ties rakhi to Bikram Singh Majithia in Patiala's Nabha jail
PTC News Desk: Former minister and member of parliament from Bathinda Harsimrat Kaur Badal visit Patiala's Nabha jail on Saturday and tied a rakhi to her brother Bikram Singh Majithia, who is incarcerated in disproportionate assets case.
Majithia is lodged in New Nabha jail at Patiala after the Mohali court extended his judicial custody until August 14.
However, a dramatic row of incidents unfolded before the ceremony took place with Harsimrat Kaur Badal lambasting Punjab government for not her visit her brother to tie him rakhi.
'I have come from Delhi in this heavy rain to tie Rakhi on the wrist of my brother Bikram Majithia, who is lodged in Nabha jail on false charges. However I was denied this right. I had been trying for last four days to get permission to celebrate this occasion with my brother, but no avail,' seemingly agitated Harsimrat Kaur Badal said.
“Earlier, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann denied me permission to visit my brother in jail for 1.5 months. AAP Punjab has stooped to a new low by disrespecting the sacred bond between a brother and a sister and has also violated my human rights,” said SAD MP in a social media post on X.
