Chandigarh : Ridiculing Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal’s claim that Punjab was the “safest state” in the country, Pradesh Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh warned him against adopting an ostrich-like attitude.
“Just shutting your eyes on the law and order problem does not mean that everything is well”, he told Sukhbir, pointing out that had it been so, a police officer would not have been killed while saving the honour and dignity of his daughter and a minor girl would not have been abducted from her home in Faridkot.
“If your intentions are genuinely sincere to cleanse the party of criminals, then begin with your brother-in-law Bikram Majithia, who is the greatest goon in your party who can threaten and intimidate people even inside the assembly”. Ridiculing the Deputy CM for claiming credit for curbing terrorism and Naxalism, the former Chief Minister said: “do I need to remind you that your father had run away during terrorism while you had been sheltered abroad while Congress fought terrorism in Punjab”.
He said a traffic police constable was beaten up by a Youth Akali Dal leader in Gurdaspur on December 7, 2012, an official in the office of the Block Development Officer at Sanaur was beaten up by an Akali sarpanch on December 12, an SHO of the Ghanaur police station had been assulated by an Akali leader, a young hotelier had been murdered in Jalandhar by a nephew of the then Akali MLA last year and a truck union president of Jagraon was shot dead on December 3.
