Chandigarh, Feb 20 (IANS) The opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs on Wednesday staged a walkout from the Punjab Assembly on the issue of there being a large number of proclaimed offenders in the state.
Replying to a question raised by AAP legislator Nazar Singh Manshahia, cabinet minister Brahm Mahindra told the House that 7,353 proclaimed offenders had been declared in the state.
