Amritsar/Chandigarh, Dec 22

PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu today said his earlier move to submit his “resignation” against the appointment of former DGP, AG and for seeking action against Bikram Singh Majithia had been justified with the registration of a case under the NDPS Act against the Akali leader.

HC told Capt to act

Capt befooled people by saying the drug report was with HC in a sealed cover. In 2018, the HC had handed it over to him and told him to take action, but in vain.

Kejriwal exposed

Kejriwal had tendered an apology to Majithia in the defamation case filed by the latter. This has exposed his double standards. Navjot Singh Sidhu, PCC Chief

Taking on Capt Amarinder Singh, the PCC chief said: “Amarinder as CM, in connivance with the NDA government, shielded Majithia. He befooled the people of Punjab by wrongly saying that the drug investigation report was with the High Court in a sealed cover. In 2018, the High Court had handed over the report to him and had asked him to take action as per the law, but in vain.”

He said Amarinder’s actions proved that he was in connivance with the NDA government (SAD was in alliance with the BJP then) while being the CM of Punjab and protected Majithia. This showed that he had taken a false oath to eradicate drug mafia just for political gains, Sidhu said.

Hitting out at AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal for saying the FIR on the basis of the ED and STF report against Majithia was a political stunt indicating connivance with the SAD, Sidhu said: “Kejriwal had tendered an apology to Majithia in the defamation case filed by the latter. This has exposed his double standards.” He said it was a matter of investigation that owing to a deal between AAP and Akalis, Punjab Roadways buses were not being allowed to have lucrative routes between Punjab and the Delhi airport.

He urged the people of Punjab to see through the smokescreen created by the AAP, Capt Amarinder and the NDA government, benefiting Majithia and with the intention of exploiting Punjab and its resources. He asked people to make an informed decision and help bring the change in the state that they wanted.

He said he would stand by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi and had prioritised his stand for Punjab. He said his fight against the drug mafia, and for the economic, social, religious and core issues of Punjab would continue.
