Chandigarh: Left without the leader of their party, Sukhbir Singh Badal, and SAD patriarch Parkash Singh Badal, Akali MLAs were forced to face the barbs directed at them from both the treasury benches and the Opposition benches occupied by AAP and its ally Lok Insaaf Party. The 16 MLAs of the SAD and the BJP (barring the Badals) were trounced by the other two parties over the financial condition of the state and the drug menace. It all began when Akali MLA NK Sharma began the debate, seeking CM’s clarification on a news report appeared in The Tribune on Wednesday regarding farmers being issued recovery notices by banks. “I want to know that if you have decided to get their debt waived, why farmers are being issued notices,” he said. Though CM Capt Amarinder Singh assured the House of expediting the matter, the MLAs on the treasury benches reacted sharply. Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu said: “For 10 years you were sleeping like kumbhkaran, you have no right to speak against us as our Cabinet does not sell chitta like you did.”  tns
