A petition has been filed with Elections BC to remove BC Education Minister and Surrey Green Timbers MLA Rachna Singh.

However, it could not be confirmed who filed it but Freedom Party leader Amrit Birring has raised his voice against Rachna Singh by posting several videos in this regard on social media.

In a video posted on several social media websites with the username @recallrachna, Birring said that he wants Rachna Singh to be B.C. should be removed as Education Minister because he believes that sexual abuse of children under his care is on the rise in schools in the state.

Birring said the Freedom Party advocates parental rights and is opposed to sexual orientation and gender identity curriculum because it violates the rights of parents and children without their consent.

According to information, the petition against Rachna Singh was filed on October 24, which is yet to be approved.
