JAKHAR ASKS MINISTER TO QUIT

Former state Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Sunil Jakhar asked agriculture minister Tota Singh to resign on moral grounds “for failing to check corruption in his department”. “He says he has no say in the department — more the reason for him to resign,” said Jakhar. Punjab Agricultural University vicechancellor BS Dhillon says the agriculture department was yet to recover from the shock arrest of its director last year when three more officers have been arrested for taking bribe. “It is sad”.
