Punjab Congress today sought immediate removal of SAD-BJP hoardings and advertisements highlighting achievements of the state government put up at different places besides photographs of chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on state-owned ambulances.

The Congress also attached "proof" in this connection, the party said.

The EC has already issued directions to cover/remove the photographs/pictures of Badal from the state-owned ambulances.
