While addressing the Vidhan Sabha on Thursday, MLA Sidhu praised the introduction of Mohalla clinics by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, which he believes has brought significant relief to the public.

According to MLA Sidhu, private hospitals and medical stores are economically exploiting low-income individuals.

MLA Sidhu proposed that if the Punjab government establish medical stores alongside Aam Aadmi clinics, it would provide much-needed relief to low-income individuals by enabling them to purchase good quality medicines at affordable prices.
