MANSA: A series of protests by relatives of unemployed linemen, disgruntled Akali Dal workers and mishandling of journalists by cops marred the rally of Union food processing minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal here on Thursday.
The minister had to virtually cut short her speech after relatives of unemployed linemen sitting in the audience raised their voice and were later taken into preventive custody by the cops.
The minister had come here to distribute bicycles to girl students under the Mai Bhago scheme and artificial limbs and calipers to the disabled at a camp. After she distributed bicycles in the government girls school, she came to the local grain market to distribute artificial limbs to the handicapped people.
