Chandigarh, March 1

Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Cheema on Friday accused the Punjab Congress of disrupting the Governor’s address and running away from hearing the achievements of the AAP government.

Addressing a press conference, Cheema said despite knowing that the obituary references, including to the farmers who have died during the recent agitation on the Haryana borders, were coming up after the Governor’s address, the opposition Congress tried to disrupt the proceedings of the House during the address.

Cheema said the House would be taking up obituary references to farmer Shubhkaran Singh who died at the Khanauri border, but the Congress MLAs wanted to create a ruckus as the proceedings of the House were being telecast live.

He claimed that after registration of a zero FIR, the police were thoroughly investigating the matter and the guilty would be brought to book.
