Kejriwal, Mann pay tributes to AAP MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal who died recently

Chandigarh, Jul 6 (PTI) Senior Aam Aadmi Party leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, gathered to pay tributes to Tarn Taran MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal who passed away recently.

Pubjab Chief Minister Mann said Sohal came from a humble background and went on to become a doctor and later joined politics to serve people.

He was a hardworking and dedicated leader and was loved by all sections of people, the chief minister said.

Sohal, the AAP MLA from Tarn Taran, died over a week ago after suffering from an ailment.

His death is an irreparable loss for both his family and the party, Mann said.

Sohal worked as an eye specialist in the health department. After his retirement, he used to treat patients free of cost.

He was seen in Tarn Taran in many roles - a social reformer, sports promoter, environmentalist and known for his contribution to rural healthcare.

Sohal was elected for the first time as an MLA from the Tarn Taran constituency in the previous Punjab Assembly elections in 2022. He had joined AAP just two years before the elections. PTI SUN SKY SKY
