The members of the delegation including co-president of AAP, Aman Arora and deputy leader of opposition Sarabjeet Kaur Manuke.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Khaira said that the issue of illegal mining has dominated the political spectrum of Punjab for the past many years and was a major issue during the last assembly polls. The Congress party in its election manifesto had promised to put an end to large scale illegal mining undertaken by the mafia-politician nexus during the ten years of SAD-BJP rule.
