On Friday, one of the staff members of the Badal owned bus first attacked another bus staffer for picking up passengers and then mishandled and tried to snatch camera of a Journalist, Charanjeet Singh Teja on which he clicked photo of the attack.

A few days ago the conductor of bus owned by Badals threw a handicapped journalist Talwinder Singh Bhutter, out of bus, when he demanded concession of being physically challenged. It was not the erring conductor, but his ‘power hangover’ under influence of which, he dared to attack a journalist”, Khaira said.

“ Atrocities of Badals are increasing day by day and people of Punjab are in wait to teach them a lesson by showing them the door in the assembly polls in 2017”, said Sukhpal Singh Khaira while demanding immediate ban on the “Killer Bus Service” owned by Badals.
