BATHINDA, Nov. 3 -- Agriculture minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian visited the family of slain anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota at their residence in Mansa on Monday evening. Khudian was the first leader from the ruling AAP to visit the family members of Jhota, who was shot dead on October 13. Khudian, accompanied by the AAP legislator from Sardulgarh, Gurpreet Singh Banwali, stayed for nearly 45 minutes. He said he had come to condole Jhota's death. In a video statement, the slain activist's father Bhim Singh said the minister discussed the Insaaf Committee's demand for a meeting with the Vidhan Sabha Speaker, two senior cabinet ministers, and the chief secretary in Mansa to resolve their 14-point demands. Singh said Khudian did not assure a schedule for any such meeting. Jhota's body is kept at the Mansa civil hospital's mortuary as the family is firm that the autopsy and cremation would be allowed only after their demands are met. According to sources, Khudian is learnt to have informed Jhota's family that a panel of political representatives of the AAP may visit Mansa in the next 48 hours for high-level talks to end the deadlock between the protesters and the state government.
