Parvinder Jhota's Father Requests Rahul Gandhi and Nehru-Gandhi Family to Avoid Punjab Protest
Parvinder Jhota's father, Bhim Singh, has requested Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and members of the Nehru-Gandhi family to refrain from visiting the ongoing Jhota Insaf Morcha protest in Punjab's Mansa district. While he expressed no personal animosity toward Rahul Gandhi, Singh linked his refusal to his Sikh faith and allegiance to the Panth. Singh also asked that the family of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh avoid the protest site. The protest follows the killing of anti-drug activist Parvinder Jhota, sparking widespread demonstrations.
