Chandigarh : The Punjab Congress today asked former Member of Parliament Navjot Singh Sidhu to disclose the names of those who had been unduly benefited by the Badal government. He asked Sidhu to stop “befooling the people” and to put the record straight.
Partap Singh Bajwa, PPCC chief, said earlier when the Congress had raised the drug issue, it was dismissed by the SAD as a political campaign. “But Sarwan Singh Phillaur had to resign from the Cabinet after his name surfaced in the Bhola drug racket. Now, Chief Parliamentary Secretary Avinash Chander is under the ED scanner. The BJP too has started talking about the menace of drugs,” said Bajwa.
He did not name Jalandhar Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary whose name has figured in the diary recovered from Goraya-based businessman. “Badal has once again started shifting blame on the Centre, seeking greater vigilance on the border. The entire border is fenced and guarded by the BSF. Does he suspect the involvement of the BSF in smuggling,” he asked. Bajwa asked the BJP to take a clear stand on the issue.
Bikramjit Singh Majithia : Sidhu a frustrated man, says Majithia
Pathankot: Cabinet Minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia on Monday advised former MP Navjot Sidhu to stop raking up frivolous issues “if he has to survive in the world of politics.” Majithia, addressing a school function where Pathankot BJP legislator Ashwani Sharma too was present, said: “He is annoyed with his party but cannot do much. He has chosen to vent his ire on the SAD leadership, particularly the Chief Minister and the Deputy CM. He has become a laughing stock. The BJP should banish him from the party.” Majithia said it was a pity that Sidhu had chosen his wife to attack the state government.
