Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa on Wednesday condemned Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan for suspending nine MLAs belonging to the Opposition.

“It is a sheer violation of basic principles of the democracy. The government has been running away from the genuine questions of the party that’s why it suspended Congress MLAs. This undemocratic move will not be tolerated at any cost”, Bajwa added.

However, as per their own documents, Rs 60,000 crore loan has been taken even though two years of term has yet to be completed. If the loan of February and March is included, it will Rs 67,000 crore”, Bajwa added.

Bajwa also sought details of 40,000 employees that the AAP government claimed to have recruited.
