Noisy scenes were witnessed in the Punjab Assembly on Saturday when Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann rose to speak on the Governor’s address with Congress MLAs protesting that they were denied the time to speak.
Congress MLAs shouted slogans demanding time to speak, to which Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan responded, saying that allocated time has been given to the members. Following this, Congress MLAs led by the Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa left the House in protest.
Mr. Mann announced the introduction of comprehensive law and order reforms in the State to eliminate “gangster culture”. He said that the government will soon introduce a witness protection Bill and modify jails of the State into high-security prisons.
