Chandigarh, December 8
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday alleged Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal had made a deal to save Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia in the drugs case.
Weakening case
As per the deal, Majithia will be arrested on weak grounds so that he can get bail
the very next day. Raghav Chadha, AAP affairs co-incharge
Addressing mediapersons, AAP Punjab co-in-charge Raghav Chadha alleged after the Punjab Government was reprimanded by the High Court in the case, CM Channi held a secret meeting with Sukhbir at a farm house. “During the meeting, a deal was reached between the two leaders that the government would arrest Majithia by making a very weak case, so that he can get bail the very next day,” he claimed, saying the information had been provided to the party by a senior police officer.
Chadha said a few days ago, Transport Minister Raja Warring seized Badal’s buses with an army of camerapersons to fool the public. But the very next day, the court ordered the release of all buses. This time the Chief Minister himself was going to do something similar, he said.
Chadda further said CM Channi and Sukhbir had a long-standing relationship. In the past, Channi, accused in the ‘Ludhiana City Centre scam’, had gone to meet Sukhbir to save his brother. This had been confirmed by the Akali legislators themselves in the Assembly, he added.
Questioning the Chief Minister, the AAP leader said at which farm house did he meet Sukhbir? What is his deal with Badal? How much money is involved? The Chief Minister should answer all these questions. — TNS
