Badal Slams Kejriwal's Actions as 'Worse Than Emergency'
Sukhbir Badal, from the Akali Dal, is upset with Arvind Kejriwal's government, saying it's treating people worse than during a tough time called the Emergency.
He claims Kejriwal is being unfair and stopping Akali Dal members from going to their religious place.
Badal believes this is because Kejriwal dislikes Punjabis and wants to distract from his government's issues.
Badal is protesting because another Akali leader, Bikram Majithia, was arrested and he thinks it is unfair.
Sukhbir Badal criticized Arvind Kejriwal's government actions as worse than the Emergency.
Police prevented Akali Dal workers from reaching Gurdwara Sri Amb Sahib in Mohali.
Badal alleged the actions were driven by Kejriwal's hatred for Punjabis and vendetta politics.
SAD leaders were detained while protesting against Bikram Majithia's arrest.
Badal announced the SAD would intensify its campaign against the AAP government.
