"His bag was searched by us and we recovered 18 gold biscuits weighing 2,100 gm worth Rs 1.3 crore from him. He failed to give any satisfactory answer to us. He also failed to produce any documents in this respect," said the customs official.
He said, "It is shocking that while the entire country has rejected these laws, Kejriwal typically quietly keeps them in force. One can well imagine what his true anti-farmer intent and agenda in Punjab is."
Pointing out that Punjab was never before divided on caste or religious lines, Capt Amarinder said "Charanjit Channi does not have the calibre of a chief minister," and his tall claims cannot fool the people of the state.
