CHANDIGARH: The alleged real estate scandal in Ludhiana on Friday rocked the Punjab Assembly with main opposition Shiromani Akali Dal demanding a CBI probe into the issue after moving an adjournment motion in the House.

The house witnessed pandemonious scenes on the issue and Speaker Kewal Krishan had to adjourn the House twice after an uproar on the “scandal” from Akali legislators.

Leader of Opposition and SAD President Parkash Singh Badal demanded a CBI probe into the multi-crore Ludhiana City Centre scam, saying various rules had been bypassed to benefit a particular company.

Badal while speaking on the adjournment motion which was moved by him and four other Akali Dal MLAs said the project would result in huge financial loss to the state.

The House which has a total strength of 117 members witnessed pandemonium just before the motion was admitted by the Speaker, who said the issue raised needed discussion.

Chief Minister Amarinder Singh made a brief statement in the House, saying Badal had raised controversy without verifying the facts
