Episode: Punjab Congress slams AAP government over its MLA Sukhpal Khairas arrest
Description: Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira was arrested by the Punjab Police in connection with a 2015 drugs case on September 28 morning. A team led by Superintendent of Police Manjeet Singh raided the Chandigarh residence of Khaira around 6 am. Reacting to the arrest the Punjab Congress state unit chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party government, calling the action against Khaira---political vendetta. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party, however, rejected the allegation and asserted that the action against the Bholath MLA was taken as per law.
