VALTOHA ACCUSES EX- CONG MINISTER OF ‘USURPING’ PENSION MONEY
SAD leader and former Khemkaran MLA Virsa Singh Valtoha alleged that the incumbent MLA Sukhpal Singh Bhullar, his father Gurchet Singh Bhullar and his unidentified close aide ‘usurped’ pension money. Valtoha said this while addressing a press conference on Wednesday.
He alleged that Bhullar family used to delay disbursement of pensions. “Smelling bungling of the pension money, I managed to get the call recordings of sarpanch of Abadi Baba Sodhi village falling in Bhikhiwind block with his unidentified aide and Gurchet Singh Bhulla, former cabinet minister of Punjab. Both the father and son did not allow the pension money to be delivered to beneficiaries,” he said.
Gurchet Singh Bhullar said the man whom Valtoha is referring to as a close aide is not close to their family. “I never called sarpanch of the village as he associated to SAD. There is no question of bungling of funds as I have always asked officers to deliver money at the earliest,” he added.
