Chandigarh, Aug 27 (UNI) As the number of Covid positive MLAs rose to 29, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday appealed to all other legislators who had come in contact with them to avoid attending the one-day Vidhan Sabha session on Friday.
The protests by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by their MLAs, were endangering the lives of people, said Capt Amarinder, pointing to the AAP dharnas in various parts of the state since August 20.
With anything between 25 to 250 people present at each of these gatherings, they had become tinder boxes for sparking further spread of the pandemic, said the Chief Minister, urging the party to call off their protests.
