Jalandhar, April 4

Amid the reports of medical negligence with Bhai Nirmal Singh, SAD chief Sukhbir Badal on Saturday demanded the resignation of Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu.

In a tweet, Sukhbir said, “Immediate sacking of negligent Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu and strict action against culprits is the need of the hour.”

Tagging CM Capt Amarinder Singh in the tweet, Badal said, “How will we tackle the coronavirus pandemic if your government lets victims die with total negligence.”

The SAD chief was apparently reacting to reports of an audio clip of the last conversation of Bhai Nirmal Singh with his son and daughter-in-law that has gone viral, wherein he purportedly said the doctors were not attending to him properly.

Immediate sacking of negligent Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu and strict action against culprits is the need of the hour. How will we tackle #CoronavirusPandemic if your govt lets victims die with total negligence, @capt_amarinder? 2/2
