Punjab Congress Chief Warring Booked over 'Casteist' Remarks on Buta Singh
Raja Warring faces charges under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act for casteist remarks that sparked legal action and calls for official reports.
- An FIR was registered on Tuesday at the Cyber Crime Police Station, Kapurthala district, booking Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act after casteist remarks against late Buta Singh.
- After the remarks, Sarabjot Singh Sidhu approached the Kapurthala Senior Superintendent of Police and filed a complaint at the Cyber Crime Police Station, Kapurthala district, calling Warring's comments deeply offensive and casteist.
- Family filings argue the wording amounts to body shaming and legacy damage, as Sarabjot Singh Sidhu said the language reinforces caste superiority and insults Buta Singh, revered by the Scheduled Caste and Mazhabi Sikh communities.
- On Monday, Warring issued an apology, saying Buta Singh was like a father figure, as Punjab state officials warned the comments could incite caste-based tensions.
- Amid the Tarn Taran bypoll campaign, the dispute risks widening social strains as Sarabjot Singh Sidhu said `Kala Mazhabi Sikh` violates constitutional norms.
