Chandigarh, December 11
AAP MLA and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema has written to Governor Banwarilal Purohit demanding a time-bound investigation overseen by the High Court into the allegations of “transfer-posting of police officers by taking money” by minister Rana Gurjeet Singh against Home Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa during a recent Cabinet meeting.
Addressing mediapersons here, Cheema said: “It is a very serious matter that a minister is accusing his fellow party member and Home Minister of appointing SSPs in exchange of money.” The appointment of police officers for bribe was a serious threat to the security of the country and state. So, it was necessary to have a fair investigation into the matter, he said.
Cheema said the AAP had already been alleging mafia rule in the state. “Channi’s minister Rana Gurjeet Singh has proved our allegations to be true. We had raised the issue of mafia ruling the state many times in the Assembly and said several Congress leaders are part of the mafia,” he said. — TNS
