Punjab minister Fauja Singh Sarari apologised on behalf of his cabinet colleague and state health minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra.
Amid the ongoing controversy and opposition attack demanding Punjab Health Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra's resignation, state cabinet minister Fauja Singh Sarari on Saturday took note of the incident and apologised on behalf of him.
His remarks came after a video went viral in which Punjab Health Minister Jouramajra can be seen directing the vice-chancellor of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences to lie down on a spoiled mattress.
The medical official can be seen following the minister's instructions hesitantly and later the minister lashed at him for the poor conditions of the hospital wards.
"The minister of the state is there to give respect and not to insult. I apologise on his behalf, there should be no interference or pressure by the political leaders on the officers," said Mr Sarari.
