Youth Akali Dal leader Sandal joins Manpreet Badal

Former Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal demanded that the long pending report of the probe ordered into the death of former minister Capt. Kanwaljit Singh should be made public.

Former Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal on Tuesday demanded that the long pending report of the probe ordered into the death of former minister Capt. Kanwaljit Singh should be made public.

Manpreet was speaking after welcoming Rajinder Singh Sandal,Senior Vice President of Youth Akali Dal and a close confidant of Captain Kanwaljit Singh,into his team. A magisterial probe was ordered by the Punjab government into the death of the former minister in a road accident in March 2009. Badal told mediapersons that two years had passed but the probe outcome was yet to be made public.

Sandal avoided a direct reply when asked whether son of captain Kanwaljit Singh and Akali MLA,Jasjit Singh Bunny,would also join Manpreet. Manpreet said that in February several happy surprises would be given to the media and several leaders were expected to join his Punjab Jago Yatra in the Doaba region. We want only people with clean image in our movement, said Manpreet. Asked whether he perceived any threat to his life,Manpreet said he did not. He also said he felt uncomfortable amidst security guards.

In Hoshiarpur,former Rajya Sabha member Varinder Singh Bajwa also joined Manpreet along with his supporters. Manpreet said that he is not a political party agent but an agent of change in the state.
