Jalandhar : Sukhpal Khaira, PPCC spokesperson, today alleged that Revenue Minister Bikram Majithia, during a visit to Canada, had stayed with NRI Satpreet Satta, who had been named by drug lord Jagdish Bhola in the Rs 6,000 crore drug racket.
Majithia said the Congress was “twisting facts to divert people’s attention from the real issues”. The minister said the Congress plea for a CBI probe into the drug trade had already been turned down by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. “The party is now resorting to falsehood to catch the people’s attention,” he said.
Khaira claimed that Satta, who hailed from Hoshiarpur district, had stayed with Majithia at his Amritsar residence. “Phone call details, if procured by the Punjab Police, can reveal how close the two are,” he said.
Khaira claimed that Satta had fled to Canada after Bhola’s arrest and that Bhola had saved his cellphone number as “Satta Bikram Majithia”. This could be ascertained with the help of “true caller mobile application,” he said.
