Punjab: Mann govt to move SC against Governor; assembly session cut short
PTI, Oct 20, 2023, 8:49 PM IST
The two-day Punjab assembly session was cut short on its first day Friday with the AAP government announcing it would move the Supreme Court against the governor for not approving the three Bills that were to be tabled in the House.
Governor Banwarilal Purohit had termed the session illegal and withheld his approval to the revenue-related Bills, escalating the tussle between him and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. In the House, Mann attacked the governor calling him “laat sahab” once and telling him that he is behaving as if Punjab is under Governor’s Rule or like he is the lieutenant governor of Delhi.
Expressing displeasure over the situation, Mann urged Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan to adjourn the House sine die and said his government will move the apex court on October 30 against the governor over the issue.
