Punjab State Women’s Commission had issued a show-cause notice to former CM for making derogatory remarks against women and two communities while campaigning for Congress candidate Amrita Warring in Gidderbaha.
Criminal proceedings will be initiated against Channi if he fails to give a satisfactory reply by appearing before the commission headquarters in Mohalu by 11am on November 19.
Former CM and Jalandhar Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi was campaigning for Gidderbaha party nominee Amrita Warring on Sunday when he made the objectionable remarks.
According the Congress leader and former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi, the central government is deliberately pushing the farmers to the wall so that they resort to road blockades and invite the wrath of other categories.
