Sparks fly in Punjab House over Gill's obituary

CHANDIGARH: The first day of Punjab assembly's budget session, reserved for remembering important persons who passed away during the period saw heated exchanges on Wednesday.

Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh had sanctioned a full guard of honour with Delhi and Assam cops by the Punjab government and his funeral was attended by several top Union and state ministers, including SAD's ally BJP. Even as SAD supremo Sukhbir Badal took his 14 MLAs out of the house, the three BJP MLAs remained seated. SAD chief Sukhbir Badal said Gill's hands were tainted with the blood of innocents. 

Congress hit back at SAD for turning the death of a decorated former police chief into a political spat. "For a man who finished terrorism, Akali Dal has dishonoured the house and its proceedings by walking out today," the CM said.

"Akalis have nothing to take on the government with and feel cornered in the face of imminent exposure through the white paper (on Punjab's finances) to be released," said Congress health minister Brahm Mohindra.
