Cong, Akalis seek Khaira's resignation; he hits back

News, Punjab

Chandigarh: A day after a court in Fazilka summoned Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Sukhpal Singh Khaira, the clamour for his resignation grew today with both the ruling Congress and the opposition Akalis questioning the Aam Aadmi Party leader's continuation in the post.

However, Khaira hit back reminding both the parties that their leaders -- Amarinder Singh, Parkash Singh Badal and Sukhbir Singh Badal -- never resigned from their positions despite being summoned and charge-sheeted in corruption cases in the past.
