WHEN AMARINDER SILENCED AKALIS

-

Continuous sloganeeri­ng by the Shiromani Akali Dal during the Vidhan Sabha session on Friday angered Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh. He stood up and told the party MLAs in an intimidati­ng tone that he doesn’t come under pressure. The Akali MLAs were raising slogans against power minister Rana Gurjit Singh in the mine auction controvers­y and demanding farm debt waiver. “I have a list of 10 Akalis who are doing sand mining and will take no time in making it public,” Capt said. The snub silenced the Akalis. But now the AAP leaders want the CM to make the names public.
