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.
Slamming the Bhagwant Mann government, the Congress MLA claimed that he was being apprehended in a fake case and that 'jungle raj' was prevailing in the state.
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.
By bringing back Sukhpal Khaira, Amarinder Singh has potentially tackled two issues — putting a strong candidate in SGPC chief Jagir Kaur's seat and countering AAP's revival efforts.
The officials said that the PMLA probe is related to alleged drugs trafficking and a fake passport case, adding that a few accused in the case are lodged in jail.

While global corporations setting up GCCs in India continue to express confidence in availability of skilled AI engineers, the panel argued that India’s real challenge lies elsewhere.
