The Shiromani Akali Dal has demanded the dismissal of Education Minister Harjot Bains in the Rs 100 crore cyber scam case of Punjab. The party said in its address to the Governor that an ED investigation should be conducted against Harjot Bains and his associate Jyoti Yadav in this big cyber scam under the supervision of the Punjab-Haryana High Court as it also involves money laundering.

Youth Akali Dal president Sarabjit Singh Jhinjar said this is necessary because the special investigation team formed by the state government cannot hold the cabinet minister accountable. He said that all Punjabis know that the SIT has been formed only to give a clean chit to the minister.
