Punjab: Captain asks Badals 10 questions
Description
CHANDIGARH: Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday asked the Badals 10 questions, saying that these were pointed, pertinent and needed to “nail the lies the family, which heads SAD, had been perpetuating in the last few days” to save their own faces on the agriculture bills, which they had “openly and shamelessly” supported since the ordinances were brought in. Responding to the “no-holds barred” attack launched by both Sukhbir Badal and Harsimrat Badal since the ordinances were ready for introduction in Parliament, the chief minister said the duo had been fabricating lies on the whole issue just to cover up their muddied faces, which had been completely exposed. “How could the Punjab government have concurred on something that never came up for discussion,” he asked, adding that unlike SAD, the Congress had maintained a consistent stand against the ordinances, which the Centre “introduced on the sly” amid the pandemic and then pushed through the Lok Sabha by sheer brute majority.
