Haryana khap warns of stir from tomorrow if Sonali Phogat not held

ROHTAK: One of the Haryana’s prominent Khap bodies, Binain Khap, on Wednesday held a meeting in Jind’s Danoda Kalan village and demanded the arrest of TikTok star-turned BJP leader Sonali Phogat for thrashing Hisar market committee secretary Sultan Singh during her visit to Balsamand mandi last week.

The khap members said if their demands weren’t met, they would launch an agitation on June 12.

The meeting, chaired by khap president Nafe Singh Nain, passed a resolution condemning the incident and described it as an insult of ‘Khap’s son’, Sultan Singh, who hails from Saccha Khera village of Jind district, where this khap wields influence. “Her supporters had also thrashed me. I will accept whatever decision the Khap body makes in this issue,” he added.

Meanwhile, a group of women protested in Hisar and sought arrest of Sultan Singh. They claimed he had used indecent language to address Sonali and other women politicians.
