The Punjab Assembly convened on Friday to commence the Budget Session, a meeting marked by solemn tributes to several notable figures who have passed away since the previous assembly session. Among those remembered were celebrated journalist H K Dua and former Punjab Minister Raghbir Singh.
The House also acknowledged the recent deaths of former MLA Gurdeep Singh Bhaini, freedom fighter Dalip Singh, and Ashok Dhir, a former chairman of Punseed. Additionally, the assembly paid respects to Sandeep Galhotra, Renu Gupta, Ram Krishan, and Raja Singh.
In a controversial move, Shiromani Akali Dal rebel MLA Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi advocated for a tribute to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, purportedly assassinated last week. A two-minute silence was observed as a mark of respect to all departed individuals.
