Punjab government’s top lawyer APS Deol resigns
APS Deol, who was appointed as Advocate General by the new Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, has submitted his resignation.
It is worth noting that Congress state president Navjot Singh Sidhu had objections to the appointment of AG. Deol was the lawyer of former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini in 2015 after police firing in the wake of sacrilege incidents.
There have also been questions raised over the appointment of cricketer-turned-politician AS Deol as the new Advocate General of the state. Objecting to the appointment, Sidhu had tweeted, “Our government came in 2017 to demand justice in profanity cases and arrest the main culprits of drug trade and because of their failure, people removed the last CM Now, AG/DG appointments rub. Salt on the wounds of the victims, they must be replaced or else we will have no face!!”
