Accusing Punjab minster Bikram Singh Majithia of distorting the "Gurbani" while canvassing for BJP candidate from Amritsar Arun Jaitley, the Congress today said he must be whiplashed in public for alleged blasphemy.

PCC spokesperson Sukhpal Singh Khaira said,"Bikram Singh Majithia had altered the original composition by adding Jaitley's name in tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh's written hymn. This is disrespect to not only the religious composition but also to Guru Gobind."
