Punjab Congress on Wednesday announced to provide legal aid to all the affected victims of the Hoshiarpur land scam, unearthed recently, in which more than `100 crores were minted allegedly by few Akali leaders by grabbing the land of common people.

The announcement was made by Punjab Congress legislative party (ClP) leader Charanjit Singh Channi during his visit to the village.

 Channi, along with party’s Hoshiarpur MlA Sham Sunder Arora, met the affected victims and listened to their grievances.

People told the ClP leader that how they were made fools by the politically influenced politicians of the Akali Badal.

Channi assured the victims of every help from the Punjab Congress party. At the same time, he appealed to the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to take suo motu of this land scam in order to give justice to the aggrieved people. 

He also released the name and numbers of 10 lawyers along with their mobile numbers who will offer the legal aid to the victims. He also suspected the involvement of senior leadership of BJP from Hoshiarpur in this scam.

lambasting on the SAD-BJP leaders for their corrupt practices, Charanjit Singh Channi said that the Congress party doesn’t have any faith in the inquiry being done by the State Government as they are in habit of covering up the matter and saving the culprits.

“The case should be immediately handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for investigation and criminal cases should be registered against all the Akali leaders who are involved in this scam and they should be arrested,” said Charanjit Singh Channi.
