Badal suspended from SAD
Punjab’s ruling Shiromani Akali Dal tonight suspended Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal, who is at loggerheads with Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on the Centre’s reported conditional loan-waiver offer, from the party on the charge of anti-party activities.
Asked if Manpreet would be dropped from the Council of Ministers, SAD Secretary and spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema said that it was the prerogative of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal. He added that further action against the Finance Minister is likely after October 20. – (PTI)
