Ludhiana: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday alleged that Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and State Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu were accused of registering false cases against him and his party’s senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia. For putting pressure on the police officers.
Speaking to reporters after addressing a rally at Payal, the SAD president alleged that the Congress has taken over the police department and is forcing police officials to take action against senior SAD leaders. He said that honest police officers have refused to comply with these unconstitutional orders. He claimed that that is why two officers of the Bureau of Investigation have been changed very quickly.
Last month, Badal had accused the ruling Congress in Punjab of hatching a conspiracy to implicate Majithia in a false drug case. Desperate to arrest.
Badal claimed that the Congress was taking a vindictive approach to divert attention from its failures ahead of the state assembly elections. Efforts are being made to “implicate Bikram Majithia in a false case a few days before the Model Code of Conduct comes into force”, he alleged. “We had earlier exposed the conspiracy to implicate me in a false case,” he alleges.
