The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Saturday night had directed that no coercive step be taken against the Delhi BJP leader after he sought a stay on the arrest warrant issued by a Mohali court.
New Delhi: Delhi BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga on Sunday (May 8, 2022) thanked the Punjab and Haryana High Court along with Minority Commission for staying his arrest and said that the "law still works in the country".
"I thank the Punjab and Haryana High Court along with Minority Commission who showed yesterday that law still works in this country. The Minority Committee sent a notice to the Punjab government for not letting me wear my turban. In Sikhs, we can`t go out without a turban," Bagga was quoted as saying by ANI news agency.
In a reprieve for Bagga, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Saturday night had directed that no coercive step be taken against the Delhi BJP leader after he sought a stay on the arrest warrant issued by a Mohali court.
Hours after the Mohali court issued the arrest warrant in connection with a case registered against him by the Punjab Police last month, Bagga moved the high court challenging it.
Justice Anoop Chitkara took up Bagga's petition in an urgent hearing at his residence just before midnight.
