In a move that could further strain the SAD-BJP alliance in Punjab, the saffron outfit on Monday sought resignation of revenue minister Bikram Singh Majithia after the enforcement directorate served summons on him in connection with the international drug racket case.

BJP national secretary Tarun Chugh urged chief minister Parkash Singh Badal to follow the precedent of morality set by him and ask Majithia to resign.

"The chief minister had himself sought cabinet minister Sarwan Singh Phillaur's resignation on similar grounds and in the same case, and it would not be in the interest of either the Akali Dal or the government to apply different yardsticks to different persons involved in a single case," Chugh said in a statement here.
