IPS officer loses cool, says called Khalistani when he stopped Bengal BJP MLAs

A war of words between TMC and BJP erupted after a Sikh IPS officer accused a group of saffron party activists of hurling ‘Khalistani’ jibe at him during a scuffle in Dhamakhali. Following the incident, TMC shared a video of a protest staged by the Sikh community outside the BJP office and demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s apology over the same.
