AAP’s Jagmohan Singh Kang questions Cong for including former CM Charanjeet Singh Channi in CWC

“Due to his own and his family’s disproportionate assets and other cases, Punjab Vigilance Department has been holding inquiries against him. Apart from this, his nephew, Bhupinder Singh Honey, was arrested by ED and Rs 10 crore cash was recovered from him. Besides, misusing his official position as CM, Rs 2 crore was demanded by him for facilitating selection of a cricket player Jass Inder Singh to Punjab Civil Service (PCS),” he said.

He added, “In addition to this, he also committed a scam during his son’s marriage by bungling in the project of Dastan-e-Shahadat, a monumental museum depicting Sikh history in his constituency, Chamkaur Sahib. He was also embroiled in a #MeToo controversy. It is surprising that the Congress does not have any other suitable leader with a clean image. There are many other competent senior leaders.”

Later in the day, Channi told the media that Kang had nothing to do with Congress as he had quit the party and hence should not be commenting on its affairs. “The appointments in CWC were an internal matter of the Congress party,” he said.
