<h1>Opposition holds parallel people's assembly accusing government of flood fund embezzlement, demanding CBI probe and jobs for families</h1> An opposition party in Punjab held a parallel 'people's assembly' adopting resolutions accusing the state government of failing to prevent and manage recent floods, alleging embezzlement of disaster-response funds (claimed at Rs 12,000 crore) and seeking a CBI investigation and a high-court judge-led probe to identify culpable ministers and officers; it also demanded government jobs for bereaved families. The ruling party countered that some opposition legislators had been absent from the official assembly and disputed the criticisms. The dispute raises potential criminal (embezzlement, negligence) and administrative-law inquiries and contested factual bases for damage estimates.
