AAP marches to CM farmhouse in protest
CHANDIGARH: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday held a protest against the Capt Amarinder Singh-led Congress government over Punjab’s worst hooch tragedy that has claimed more than 110 lives in three districts.
The protesters led by AAP’S state unit president and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann and several MLAS squatted on the road in nearby Mullanpur when they were stopped from proceedings towards the chief minister’s farmhouse at Siswan in Mohali to ‘gherao’ him.
There were heated arguments between the AAP leaders, including Mann and leader of opposition Harpal Singh Cheema, and the policemen. Several party members were detained and taken to a police station in Mohali where they were later released.
