Sangrur, March 4

In view of the ‘rail roko’ agitation by SAD(A) on the issues of release of ‘Bandi Singhs’ and ‘atrocities’ on farmers, president of the party and Sangrur MP Simranjit Singh Mann was today confined to his residence at Baguana Enclave by the police here. Sangrur DSP Manoj Gorsi confirmed the development.

The MP said whenever he raised voice in favour of farmers or Sikhs, the police imposed restrictions on his movement and did not allow him to move out of his house. He said no major project or special financial package had been given by the Centre to Punjab in the past 10 years.
