Former Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) minister Adesh Partap Singh Kairon submitted his clarification at Akal Takht today.
Kairon, a four-time MLA from the Patti constituency, served as a minister, holding the excise and taxation, food and IT portfolios, during the SAD tenure from 2007 to 2017.

Kairon refrained from commenting and left after submitting his clarification.
