Overview
- Proceedings were repeatedly disrupted as AAP women MLAs entered the well, the House was adjourned for 20 minutes, and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema pressed for Khaira’s suspension and cited a separate 'bandhua mazdoor' slur.
- Sukhpal Singh Khaira refused to apologise, the Speaker said he could not speak without an unconditional apology, and Congress MLAs staged a walkout after their move to censure Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was rejected.
- The Punjab State Commission for Women issued notices to Khaira and Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring to appear in Mohali on March 12 and sought an SP‑rank probe report from the Kapurthala SSP.
- The Assembly had already passed a voice‑vote resolution on March 10 condemning Khaira for an alleged post disparaging women celebrating the Mukh Mantri Mawan Dhiyan Satkar Yojna.
- Khaira defended his posts on X as commentary on a 'scripted' video, attacked the women’s allowance as a vote‑seeking stunt, and challenged AAP to seek an apology from Mann, while Congress separately complained to the women’s panel about the CM’s remarks.
