Majithia to Mann: ‘No action against Kataruchak but journalist framed’

Asserting that leaders and legislators of the ‘badlav wali sarkar’ were involved in numerous cases of corruption and heinous crime, Majithia said, “We have witnessed how Jalalabad legislator Goldy Kamboj’s father was arrested for being involved in flesh trade coupled with blackmailing his victims. We have seen ministers Vijay Singla and Fauja Singh Sarari being dismissed for indulging in corruption but no case has been registered against them till now.”

Majithia said in contrast, however, the AAP government was quick to register a false case against television journalist Bhavana Kishore solely because she had exposed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for spending Rs 44 crore to renovate his official residence.

He said similarly, earlier cases had been registered against artistes and intellectuals who had dared to speak the truth even as web channels had been banned because they did not broadcast the propaganda being released by the AAP.

The former minister thanked the media for highlighting how Kartarpur legislator Balkar Singh had prepared a false disability certificate to enable the recruitment of his son as a Sub-Inspector under a special quota for disabled police officers. He said while the high court had dismissed the case, the SAD demanded a probe into the disability certificate procured by the legislator and registration of a criminal case against him.

Majithia also demanded action against the CM’s media director Baltej Pannu and social media handler Arushi for leaking information about the withdrawal of Sidhu Moosewala’s security which led to the latter’s murder. He condemned the government for trying to suppress the appeals being made by Moosewala’s parents for justice in the case.

The Akali leader also highlighted the AAP government was discriminating against Scheduled Castes by presenting affidavits in the high court asserting that SC candidates did not have the requisite ability to be appointed as law officers.
