Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh today condemned the State Scheduled Caste Commission for recommending cancellation of SC certificate of Bhadaur legislator Mohammad Sadique.
Reacting to the “illegal and unauthorised” recommendation to the Ludhiana DC, he said this was done at the behest of the ruling SAD-BJP alliance. He said the Akalis were in the habit of subverting constitutional and legal procedures to meet political ends.
Amarinder said Mohammad Sadique’s case was subjudice and the Akalis, particularly DS Guru, should wait for the court decision. “We will use all legal and democratic methods, including mass protests, in case the government resorts to any such arbitrary and unconstitutional practice once again to disqualify a duly and democratically elected legislator”, Amarinder warned.
The SAD alleged it was the PCC chief who was trying to subvert constitutional practices. It said on the one hand Amarinder was calling the issue a purely legal matter and on the other threatening mass protests.
