Aam Aadmi Party councillor and leader of opposition Damanpreet Singh said “AAP won’t let the house discuss any agendas till the corporation gives details of the parking scam and takes action against the those involved.” The municipal corporation Chandigarh (MCC) house meeting is scheduled for Tuesday after it was adjourned on March 6 due to ruckus over the said parking scam. Congress councillor Gurpreet Singh also echoed Damanpreet’s words and said the mayor and MC need to answer their questions or they would protest during the proceedings.
