Chandigarh, May 24 (IANS) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Badal will attend the ceremony being held to inaugurate the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28.
Disclosing this here, senior SAD leader Daljit Singh Cheema on Wednesday said "the inauguration of the new parliament building is a moment of pride for us and this occasion should not be politicised".
Cheema also took on both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress which have decided to boycott the inauguration ceremony. He said AAP was talking about the issue being one of respect for the President.
"The respect Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has for the first citizen can be gauged from the fact that he did not even receive her when she visited the state. We have also seen how much the Chief Minister respects the President's nominee -- the Governor of Punjab on many occasions."
Similarly, Cheema said "people were also aware about the respect the Congress had for the Constitution when it enforced the draconian Emergency and trampled civil rights".
"The respect the Congress party showed to President Zail Singh is also a matter of record," he added.
She has claimed to the police investigators that her mother died under natural circumstances, allegedly due to a fall on December 27. But since she was scared of getting the blame for it, she resorted to a web of lies and deceit to fool the relatives and the neighbours.
The deceased include four women. Seven others were rescued by fire service personnel. Hyderabad District Collector Amoy Kumar said the victims died of suffocation due to the smoke.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday summoned Devender Sharma, the personal assistant of former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, for questioning in connection with the now-scrapped excise policy scam case. Sharma has been asked to appear before the ED on Saturday by 10 a.m.
In a video message on the occasion of completion of one year in office, Mann said the people of the state had given a thumping verdict in favour of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) during the Assembly elections held last year.
North Goa Superintendent of Police Nidhin Valsan said that Panaji Town Police station and Sardarpura Police station (Rajasthan) personnel nabbed wanted criminal Pavan Solanki, a native of Mandor in Rajasthan's Jodhpur.
The Health Ministry has advised that state should examine the situation of Covid-19 at micro level (district & sub-districts) and maintain focus on implementation of necessary measures for prompt and effective management of Covid-19 duly ensuring effective compliance with various advisories issued by the Ministry.
