DW BUREAU / Chandigarh Launching a scratching attack on SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday dared him to clear his relations with drug lords and said that a 'tainted' leader like Majithia, who is out on bail in a drug case, has no moral ground to raise question over functioning of the Punjab government, which was elected by the people of Punjab with a landslide majority. Addressing a press conference here at party's headquarter, Punjab Chief Spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang along with Chairman Punjab Water Supply & Sewerage Board Dr. Sunny Ahluwalia and spokesperson Advocate Ravinder Singh, said bemoaned SAD leader and said that those patronized drug smugglers, gangsters and mafia during their 10-year-regime, are now shamelessly questioning the statement of the CM of Punjab while backing the notorious gangsters. He said that it shows that they are anti-Punjab and self-centric politicians who are somewhere associated with criminals. Kang dared Majithia to explain his relations with the notorious drug loards Satpreet Singh alias Satta, Amrinder Singh alias Laddi and that why he was riding with them in their cars when he was a minister during SAD-BJP regime in Punjab. He said that to fill their own coffers, these leaders made college goers youngsters gangsters and drug peddlers. They spoiled the peace and harmony of the state. He said that it is amusing that Majithia is backing a notorious gangster's statement and raising questions over Punjab CM's statement. Leaders are unnerved that after the arrest of these gangsters, they will be exposed as they had sheltered them for years for their vested political interests. He said that people of Punjab know that who patronized criminals and gangsters during their 10-year dastardly regime and destroyed the future of Punjab but now AAP government led by CM Bhagwant Mann is working dedicatedly to annihilate the criminals and recently launched a crackdown on gangster-culture and drug nexus to make the state again as 'Rangla Punjab'. why kejriwal tendered apology to Majithia : SAD Shiromani Akali Dal today asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann why he was mum after his claims on detention of gangster Goldy Brar had fallen flat even after interviews of Goldy Brar challenging this fact had appeared in public domain. Addressing a press conference here this evening, SAD Spokesman and Legal Advisor Advocate Arshdeep Singh Kaler said it was shocking that more than three days had passed since the Chief Minister made a tall claim on detention of Goldy Brar in USA by US agencies in Gujarat with a sole motive to garner votes for AAP. He said since then neither the Indian Foreign Ministry, nor Home Ministry or even Punjab DGP had confirmed the chief minister's claims. He said the US agencies had also not uttered a word on claims of the Punjab CM. Lashing out at AAP Spokesman Malvinder Kang claims on patronizing of gangsters by the earlier government, Advocate Kaler reminded AAP leader that renowned Singer Sidhu Moosewala had been killed by gang of Lawrance Bishnoi while sitting in Delhi's Tihar Jail which was under direct control of Arvind Kejriwal led AAP Government. He said that the truth is that AAP government in Punjab has totally failed to tackle law and order situation in Punjab and now it was trying to blame earlier governments for its own failure. Mocking claims of AAP leader on senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia, SAD Spokesman said that it seems that AAP leaders have forgotten that their National Convener Arvind Kejriwal has tendered written apology in the court on the issue. He asked them whether they were above Kejriwal in party hierarchy. (editor@dailyworld.in)
