BOOK CONG MLA MISUSING CENTRAL RATION: AKALI DAL

CHANDIGARH: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday asked Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh to order the registration of a criminal case against a Congress legislator who had stocked central ration meant for distribution among the poor in a Jalandhar hotel, besides officials who had allowed Congressmen to indulge in a multi-thousand crore central ration scam. Senior SAD leader and spokesperson Daljit Singh Cheema said party president Sukhbir Singh Badal had written a letter to the PM recently demanding a central probe into large scale embezzlement and wrongful distribution of central ration meant for 1.4 crore people during the COVID-19 lockdown.
