Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], November 19 (ANI): Senior Punjab Congress opposition leader Partap Singh Bajwa filed a petition in the High Court saying that he does not get coverage during his address in the Vidhan Sabha, whereas all the leaders of Aam Aadmi party gets full media coverage

"The Leader of Opposition of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha made a representation to the Speaker regarding unfair representation given to the members of the opposition during the Live Telecast of House Proceedings. It is pertinent to mention here that the camera when an MLA of the opposition is speaking is unfocused and does not show the entirety of the opposition MLA's speech. In comparison, when the Speaker, Chief Minister and all AAP MLA's are speaking, the camera is focused and the entirety of the audio is picked up, as well as the camera zooming into the AAP speaker to make it clear who is speaking", the petition read.
