विधायक की हालत गंभीर, चाहे भाजपा हो या कांग्रेस कानून व्यवस्था संभालना और गुँडागर्दी रोकना इनकी क्षमता के बाहर है! pic.twitter.com/WslYtxl4Ga
The AAP legislator's turban was tossed up during the attack and two of his security personnel were also thrashed.
"If this is the plight of the elected representatives who have been provided security, imagine the fate of ordinary citizens," Mr Khaira told over phone on his way to see Mr Sandoa at Chandigarh.

Two officials including a forest officer were brutally thrashed by five to seven assailants with sticks and sharp-edged weapons on the night of June 18 when they intercepted a tractor-trolley near Seonk village in Mohali.

It's a black day in the history of Punjab. Viral videos shows how sand mafia goondas intentionally removed AAP MLA Sandoa's turban. No normal person will act this way unless he has the backing of ruling party. Mafia in punjab is backed by Akali-Congress!#CongressAkaliBhaiBhai
