will not accept it. This has come too late. They should have done it the
day it was approved by the Council of Ministers more than a year ago,”
said Mr Tej Parkash Singh, Transport Minister and a dissident, while
reacting to the State Government’s decision to give “Cabinet
Minister status for life” to Mrs Jaswant kaur, widow of late Chief

Punjab politics late tonight.
