CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday said AAP leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira had lost the moral ground to continue as leader of opposition in the Vidhan Sabha following the summons issued by a Fazilka court against him in a drug case.
Asking Khaira to step down immediately, Jakhar said the “serious charges” against the AAP leader called for his immediate ouster from all political and statutory posts.
“With what face had the AAP leader been questioning the Captain Amarinder Singh government on its war on drugs with his own background tainted with charges of drugs smuggling? What makes the charges even more serious was the fact that the Aam Aadmi Party had always taken a high moral stand over the issue of drugs. That an AAP leader, and that too holding such a senior position, should be named and summoned in a drugs case exposes the double standards of the party led by (Delhi chief minister) Arvind Kejriwal,” Jakhar said.
