Mansa, December 10
Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was interrupted by protesters during his address at a rally in Mansa today. When Channi began addressing the gathering, the protesters sitting in the crowd started raising anti-government slogans due to which the Chief Minister could not speak for some time.
At the front of the stage, police officials had a scuffle with women protesters demanding jobs. In a bid to keep them away from the CM’s rally venue, the district authorities arranged a meeting of contract workers with Channi on his landing at the helipad, but it remained inconclusive.
Unemployed BEd and ETT-TET Pass Front leaders said they had been raising issues for the last four and a half years but the government was not paying heed to their demands. Meanwhile, former AAP MLA Master Baldev Singh joined the Congress on the occasion. — TNS
