Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann takes to Twitter with jibes; Majithia, Sidhu hit back

Mann hit out at Majithia for his family’s history of having hosted General Dyer, at the Congress for launching Operation Bluestar at Golden Temple and at the Akalis for the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib. He also hit at the BJP for creating a divide on religious lines and for anti-farmer laws.

The AAP leader said all, including those who made money from the martyrs’ memorial, have got together and are birds of the same feather. He was apparently referring to the Jang-e-Azadi memorial for which Hamdard was summoned by the Vigilance Bureau.

Majithia responded by picking on the CM for his alleged drinking habit, for doing politics on the martyrs’ memorial, for hugging the family responsible for the attack on Golden Temple and for imposing section 144 on gurdwaras. He also flayed Mann for being deplaned for drinking, abandoning his children, implicating youths under NSA, withdrawing security of Punjab rapper Sidhu Moosewala which led to his murder and getting gangster Lawrence Bishnoi on TV.

Majithia went on to criticise him for lying about Goldy Brar’s extradition, for BMW setting up a unit in Punjab, replacing Bhagat Singh’s pictures, promising to supply water to Haryana, getting Punjab remote controlled through Delhi and for naming undertrials sitting in jail to prominent posts. He also alleged Mann’s role in burdening Punjab with a loan of Rs 45,000 crore, not taking action against Cabinet Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak and spending Sundays with a tweet after drinking.

Sidhu, who just patched up with Majithia after several years, joined with his own rhyme as he talked about those “who misused vigilance, took commission for mafia, became a pawn remote-controlled from Delhi, muzzled the media, played politics and spoiled law and order, pledged to quit drinking by invoking his mother, used martyrs’ yellow turban and turned it into a groom’s headgear” and for “lecturing on ethics.”
