Amid political drama over over the continuation of Punjab’s Advocate General APS Deol,CM Charanjit Channi, PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, Punjab Affairs incharge Harish Chaudhary and Assembly Speaker KP Singh on Tuesday went to pay obeisance at Kedarnath Temple in Uttarakhand. Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday refused to accept APS Deol's resignation as state Advocate-General. Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu wanted him removed for representing two accused cops in a sacrilege and police firing case.
A senior advocate of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Deol was appointed to the post in September after Atul Nanda resigned as the Advocate-General following the unceremonious exit of Amarinder Singh as the Punjab chief minister. Deol's appointment had triggered a debate within the party as well as he had represented former top cop Sumedh Singh Saini and Inspector General Paramraj Singh Umaranangal in relation to cases regarding incidents of sacrilege and subsequent police firing in Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan in 2015.
