SAD's planned protests theatrics to revive its fortunes: Punjab CM Amarinder Singh

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh termed Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD) plan to hold statewide protests against his government "theatrics".

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday attacked the Shiromani Akali Dal, terming its plan to hold statewide protests against his government as "theatrics", aimed at reviving it fortunes following the loss of face due over the farm laws issue. The opposition party has decided to hold protests across the state on Monday over high power tariffs, taxes on fuel and the law and order situation. Having lost its moral right to face people of the state due to their doublespeak on many vital issues, including the ongoing farmers' agitation, the SAD is now trying hard to get back into their good books ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, said Amarinder Singh in a statement.
