CHANDIGARH: Chaos prevailed inside the Punjab state assembly after a Sikh legislator from the Aam Aadmi Party alleged that his turban was pulled off as marshalls manhandled his party legislators and pushed them out of the house. Pirmal Singh Dhaula walked out of the house with his turban in his hand and his hair open. “This is the worst situation for democracy. We have not witnessed such manhandling. The Congress government is to blame for it,” Dhaula said. “I will urge the Akal Takht to take the cognizance of this incident and initiate action against those responsible for this.”
