Pundri MLA faces protest for comments against community
A video of the MLA went viral on social media in which he could be heard saying that due to division in the members of an upper caste, they have elected a sarpanch from the backward community, which has only 11 votes in the village dominated by the Ror community.
This agitated the members of the Vishvakarma community and they took out a protest march in Gharaunda and burnt the effigy of the MLA. They also submitted a memorandum to the SDM expressing their concerns over his language.
Meanwhile, MLA Golan said that he did not want to hurt the sentiments of anybody but the viral video was taken from a meeting of the Ror community members he addressed on November 26. He said that he was ready to apologise if his statement has hurt anybody.
