Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday said that Deputy Chief Minister and SAD president Sukhbir Badal was “shamefully baffled” over imminent defeat in the elections and started making “false, motivated and imaginary” allegations against AAP leaders, NRIs and people of Punjab, calling everybody “terrorists”.
Slamming Sukhbir during a Press conference, AAP’s national secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Sanjay Singh said that he had no answer to questions people of Punjab and NRIs ask him about the development, drug and sand mining mafia and rampant corruption during ten years of SAD-BJP rule.
“He had found an easy escape route to name everybody, who questions him, a terrorist, supporter of radicals and anti-national,” he said.
Singh said that Sukhbir, who seems not in his senses, had blamed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for staying at a home owned by an ultra.
Vehemently denying the allegations, he said: “In same house, local SHO and a Joint Commissioner were already staying. The house is in the name of Karanjit Kaur, wife of Gurinder Singh, a citizen of UK. Gurinder was falsely booked in a case when he was not even in India. He was later acquitted by the court.”
He added that Kejriwal had stayed in the house at the request of NRI Tarsem Singh who came to Punjab for campaigning in favour of AAP. “Kejriwal’s minute-to-minute programme, including his night stay, was sent to Punjab police and intelligence beforehand which is a set procedure for visit of a Chief Minister. If there is anything objectionable, it is the police’s responsibility to inform Kejriwal,” he said asking Sukhbir whether Moga SHO Surinder Pal Singh and a Joint Commissioner level officer already staying in the house were terroristsIJ
