Amritsar: A case has been registered against 200 people including Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and several senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders in Punjab on Monday for violating corona rules. This came after Akali Dal and AAP party members staged a protest outside health minister Balbir Singh Sidhu's residence in Mohali demanding his dismissal by the Punjab government over the alleged sale of corona vaccine to private hospitals.
CM Captain Amarinder Singh had directed the Director General of Police to register a case under the Disaster Management Act against opposition leaders and activists who have been staging dharna in the state for the past few days. CM Amarinder had termed such acts of Akali Dal and AAP as irresponsible and violating stringent restrictions in the state in view of the outbreak of epidemic and asked DGP Dinkar Gupta to take action against him under law.
AAP on Monday accused the Punjab government of scamming the purchase of kits, which are used to treat corona patients. AAP state president and MP Bhagwant Mann and Delhi and Punjab affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh's MLA on Monday said the Amarinder Singh-led Congress government has set a record of scams even during the Corona epidemic.
