CHANDIGARH: The Chandigarh Police today used water canons to stop Shiromani Akali Dal(SAD) workers who were heading to gherao Punjab Vidhan Sabha after holding a rally in sector 25 here.

Rally was addressed by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal who later followed the workers in an open jeep. Sukhbir Badal alleged that Congress had failed on all fronts. He also alleged that Congress and BJP were hand in glove to foil their march to Vidhan Sabha. He attacked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh for betraying the farmers.

Chandigarh police seemed friendly match with the Akali Dal workers and refraining from using force against Akali workers.

Bikaram Singh Majithia said that Congress was insulting elected legislatures. He said that Capt Amarinder Singh had taken fake oath of Gutka Sahib.

Senior SAD leaders offered themselves for arrest. Sukhbir Singh Badal and Majithia themselves boarded the Police vehicle and they were taken to police station.
