Why AAP MP Bhagwant Mann was asked to leave religious ceremony

October 26, 2015 10:38

Bhagwant Mann, the Aam Aadmi Party's MP from Punjab's Sangrur, was forced to leave a religious ceremony held for the two men killed in police firing after he was allegedly found drunk by a former granthi.

"I found Mann was smelling foul and told him to leave the stage. We are struggling with the case of disrespect to the Guru Granth Sahib and how can a man come drunk on the stage where Guru Granth Sahib Parkash had been done,' Jagtar Singh, the former ceremonial reader of the Guru Granth Sahib at Amritsar's Darbar Sahib, was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

Singh also said that Mann should not be allowed take part in any religious ceremony in future and should apologise.
