Cases registered against Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira have become flashpoint for both parties, with Congress accusing Mann govt of 'petty politics' & speaking up against 2024 poll alliance.
Arrested Thursday in a 2015 drug case, Khaira has been a vocal critic of the AAP govt in Punjab, but has also had differences with his current party, Congress, in the past.
After BJP leader Manjinder Sirsa claimed 'obscene' clips of Punjab minister Lal Chand Kataruchak handed to governor, CM dismissed the allegations & said he had not received any resignation.
Khaira was under investigation for his alleged involvement in a drug and weapons haul case of 2015, lodged in Jalalabad. ED had raided his residence in March.

Citing details from ThePrint article analysing two reports related to the Dalit scholarship 'scam', Sukhpal Singh Khaira said probe should be conducted by a sitting HC judge.
