Jalandhar, September 28
Jalandhar MP Chaudhary Santokh Singh committed a faux pas when he went to pay tributes to Shaheed Bhagat Singh on his birth anniversary at Bhagat Singh Chowk here.
As soon as he was stepping down, he interacted with the media present at the site and said he had come to pay tributes to Bhagat Singh on his martyrdom day. As soon as he said this, Mayor Jagdish Raja intervened and told him that it was not martyrdom day but the birth anniversary. He asked the videographers to take his byte again but this video went viral.
As the video spread, the members of Fan Bhagat Singh Club gathered outside his place and held a protest this evening. Manish Rajput, president of the club, even made Chaudhary Santokh Singh apologise for his mistake telephonically before ending the protest. — TNS
