Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, January 23.

Aam Aam Party (AAP) co-incharge Raghav Chadha has sought time to meet the Governor on the issue of illegal sand mining after the recent facts emerged from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids conducted on Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's newphew.

Chadha also questioned Congress president Sonia Gandhi and leader Rahul Gandhi that when former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh accused Channi of running the sand mafia and filed a written complaint against him, why didn’t it take action against him?

He said instead of taking an action against Channi, the Congress leadership rewarded him and made him the Chief Minister. — TNS
