Expressing grave concern over the set back to the economy of all the sections of Punjab, be it the framers, labourers, traders, small and medium entrepreneurs, he said that when the people who sent them to the legislative assembly for safeguarding their interests, were facing financial problems due to COVID-19, his conscience did not allow him to continue getting salary from the taxpayers’ money. “ I give up my rest of the tenure’s salary to the state to use it for the welfare of the people”, said Angad Singh.
