Chandigarh: Distinguished lawyer Vinod Ghai is set to be the next Advocate General of Punjab, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced on Thursday.

"He is a competent lawyer and we sincerely hope that the cases of Punjab will be properly advocated," said Mann after a cabinet meeting.

Mann also targeted Sangrur MP Simranjit Singh Mann over the latter's comments about Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

"Shaheed Bhagat Singh laid down his life for the freedom of the country at the age of 23 and there are statues of Shaheed Bhagat Singh not only in India but also in Pakistan and he is respected there also. Simranjit became a parliamentarian by the oath of the constitution and he is insulting the same," the Chief Minister said.

Sangrur MP Simranjit Singh Mann had reportedly referred to the freedom fighter as a "terrorist" triggering a major controversy. (with Agency inputs)
