Punjab CM-designate withdraws security of 122 ex-MLAs


Chandigarh, Mar 12 (IANS): In an obvious message against VIP culture, Punjab Chief Minister-designate Bhagwant Mann on Saturday withdrew security of 122 former legislators, minister and the VIPs, including state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife, ahead of his swearing-in.

The former ministers included Manpreet Singh Badal and Pargat Singh, both of the Congress who have lost the election.

However, the list does not have names of former Chief Ministers -- Capt Amarinder Singh and Parkash Singh Badal and Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal and state Congress chief Sidhu.

However, Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur, who is an ex-legislator, are among those whose security cover was withdrawn.

    Absolutely fantastic decision. Yes, I totally support and commend this decision. A huge amount of money is being wasted on giving protection to these worthless rogues. Strip them of all this security. They don't deserve this. Use the money thus saved on the people, on health care and education. Bhagwant Mann has set a very very good example.

    It is a Good move. If people are to be benefitted, then this kind of wasteful expenditure has to be removed. If a American Ex President work as a normal person after his term, then all the politicians has to lead as a normal perosn in India also. Do not give any protection for the ex politicians, even they were P.M's. They have to lead a life like normal person or appoint security at their own cost.
