Punjab CM further added that at no cost the corridor would be allowed to shut down. The Punjab government has made the possible efforts to make the corridor a "succes."

Reverting to the demand of opposition to dismiss Dinkar Gupta after he passed remarks on Kartarpur Sahib, the CM said that the DGP had already apologised for the same and the opposition now is exaggerating the issue. 

CM further said, "Everyone makes mistake." 

Everyone should understand security concerns of the country in relation to its hostile neighbour, said Capt Amarinder Singh.

Continuing speech in Vidhan Sabha, the CM took side of his cabinet colleague- Bharat Bhushan Ashu, after a suspended DSP had purpotedly said that Ashu had sheltered a group of terrorists in 1992.

“The TADA case being raked by the opposition against the Minister has already been closed,” the CM said.

AAP and SAD MLAs filled with fury when CM said there was no need to discuss a "25-year-old closed TADA case," and raised a question to the CM to know why a 32-year-old case against Akali leader Virsa Singh Valtoha had been opened.

Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa said, "Why did the Akali government, led by Parkash Singh Badal, not open Ashu case for 15 years?"

SAD and AAP MLAs then marched to the Well of the House, demanding pending cases agaisnt Ashu to be opened. After this, MLAs proceeded to stage a walkout.
