The Cyber Crime Police Station, Kapurthala, has registered an FIR against Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president and MP Amrinder Singh, also known as Raja Warring, over allegations of making derogatory, caste-based remarks against the late former Union Home Minister Buta Singh, who belonged to the Mazhabi Sikh (Scheduled Caste) community.
The complaint was filed by Sarabjot Singh Sidhu, son of the late leader, and former minister Joginder Singh Maan (nephew of Buta Singh), who alleged that while addressing a public gathering during a by-election campaign in Tarn Taran, the Congress leader used objectionable language referring to his late father’s caste and physical appearance.
The complainant stated that the accused allegedly remarked that Buta Singh was made Union Home Minister “only because he was a black Mazhabi Sikh who worked in buffalo fodder feeding activities”.
