A row has erupted over the appointment of Justice Jai Singh Sekhon as Punjab Lokayukta after the state Congress alleged that Justice Sekhon has pronounced political affiliations as he is the brother of sitting Cabinet Minister Janmeja Singh Sekhon. The Congress also said that it doesn't expect any fair verdict from Justice Sekhon. On the other hand, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has brushed aside apprehensions of the opposition, saying that judges never have political affiliations.
