Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi, an Akali MLA embroiled in controversy for shifting allegiance from SAD to AAP, now faces a plea for his disqualification. Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan has called for Sukhi to defend his position following the allegations.
Sukhi, now serving as AAP's vice-president for the Doaba zone, transitioned to the party last year in the presence of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Despite his shift, he retains his rights as a member of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.
Legal proceedings initiated by Advocate H C Arora question his eligibility following the defection, as Sukhi's political journey, marked by multiple elections and appointments, faces scrutiny.
