Journalist Jarnail Singh loses job
WSN Network

NEW DELHI: Journalist Jarnail Singh who had flung a shoe at India's Home Minister P Chidambaram to protest denial of justice to victims of 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom has been sacked from service by his employer, the Dainik Jagran group.

Jarnail Singh was hailed by the Sikh community and many front ranking voices from civil society, and his action had forced the Congress to withdraw party's Lok Sabha tickets from Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar.

The newspaper group said it has conducted an inhouse inquiry and terminated jarnail Singh's services after a four month notice period. Jarnail Singh said he was being punished for speaking up for a cause that should be dear to all right thinking people. The SGPC has again reiterated the offer of a job to Jarnail Singh.
