Badal courts arrest

Chandigarh Nov. 27. The Shiromani Akali Dal president and former Punjab Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal, today courted arrest as part of the party's state-wide ``Jail Bharo Andolan (fill the jails)'' against what he called the `anti-people' policies of the State Government.

Today's protest was aimed at pressing the Chief Minister, Amarinder Singh, to implement the SAD's 15-point charter of demands, including resumption of free power supply to the farm sector. — UNI
