CM faces wrath of students at PAU

Ludhiana, Sep 21: The students and passed out scholars of the Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) today prevented Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh from delivering a speech at the inauguration of the Kisan Mela on the university campus here, while they were beaten by the cops amidst their agitation.

The agitated students forced the Chief Minister to leave the venue by blocking his way towards the stage and raised anti-government slogans, demanding jobs and filling up of vacancies in various departments of the state.

The Chief Minister was taken to the PAU rest house by the university Vice Chancellor K S Aulakh amidst the chaos. He returned to the venue half an hour later to address the gathering.

The Chief Minsiter was accompanied by Animal Husbandry Minister Jagmohan Singh Kang, Public Health Minister Harnam Dass Johar and another local MLA Surinder Dawar.
