Cong MPs slam Punjab govt, call for CBI, ED probe

CHANDIGARH: Two Congress parliamentarians targeted their party-led government in Punjab on Monday over the spurious liquor tragedy, which has claimed over 100 lives, and petitioned the governor for probe by the CBI and the ED into the “illegal” trade in alcohol.
RS MPs Partap Singh Bajwa and Shamsher Singh Dullo alleged “clear-cut failure” on the part of the state administration and claimed the tragedy could have been averted, had CM Amarinder Singh acted in time on their complaints about illegal liquor businesses.
The death toll in the tragedy rose to 105 on Monday.
