Chandigarh, April 14
Congress leader Navjot Sidhu put out a tweet on Thursday after the Enforcement Directorate grilled Punjab ex-chief minister Charanjit Channi in sand mining under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case on Wednesday.
Sidhu wrote: “My fight was for Punjab and not for sand hellip; Those who ran the land, sand and liquor mafia let down Punjab for selfish vested interests by looting the exchequerhellip;. It is either Punjab or the Mafia in the present financial scenario! The fight continueshellip;”
Channi was questioned for over six hours by the ED in a money laundering investigation linked to an alleged sand mining case in the state.
His nephew Bhupinder Singh alias Honey was arrested in the case by the agency days before the February 20 Punjab Assembly polls. A charge sheet was filed against him and others named in the case earlier this month.
