Sikh activists on Monday protested outside the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) office here against the DSSSB chairman and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
They were against the board’s decision of preventing Sikh candidates from wearing ‘kirpan’ and ‘kara’ in the examination.
The activists were led by DSGMC president Manjinder Singh Sirsa and general secretary Harmeet Singh Kalka.
Minister of State for the External Affairs Ministry VK Singh told Rajya Sabha the government has adopted a "multi-pronged approach to give respite to the wives deserted by their NRI husbands".
Senior advocate H.S. Phoolka on Thursday submitted his resignation from the Aam Aadmi Party to party chief Arvind Kejriwal.
The victims were accompanied by the SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal, Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, party MP Naresh Gujral and heads of Sikh religious bodies SGPC and DSGPC.
Justice Anand Venkatesh allowed a batch of petitions and criminal original pleas from various spa and massage centres seeking quashing of FIRs and release of girls (who are therapists) lodged in government homes.
Supreme court said this while quashing an case lodged by a Maharashtra-based nurse against a doctor, who were in a live-in relationship "for quite some time".
