Case against Punjab Agro Industries ex-chief political vendetta, says Akali Dal

The Akali leader said that earlier as well the Congress government “misused the state police to register a false case against Kolianwali as well his son Parminder and nephew despite the fact that Parminder was subject to a murderous assault”.

The former minister said, “The timing of the case was also designed to divert attention of the people from the all round failure of the Congress party and its government”. He said the government had failed to implement any of its promises including complete Rs 90,000 crore loan waiver to farmers.

“The youth who were promised ghar ghar naukari have been cheated with no employment being given to them. The law and order situation has become such that it seems the state is slipping into jungle raj. Besides incidents of political vendetta, anti-social and even anti-national elements have increased their activities resulting in sensational murders. Recent revelations indicate that the incidence of drug addiction and trafficking have increased because youth are being pushed into drugs,” said Cheema.
