Chandigarh, Jan 19: Opposition parties on Wednesday targeted the Congress government in Punjab over the ED raids and demanded Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s resignation following the seizure of cash from the premises linked to a relative of the CM.
The ED raids were conducted in connection with an anti-money laundering investigation against illegal sand-mining operations in the state. Cash amounting to over Rs 10 crore, including about Rs 8 crore from a relative of Channi, was seized by the ED during the raids.
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh demanded Channi’s resignation “for patronising his family members in clandestine sand-mining in the state”. (PTI)
