Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Thursday asserted that the State Government would soon take a stern action against the perpetrators of mining, post-matric scholarship scheme, desecration, and irrigation scam.
“Congress government is duty bound to punish every person who has done any sin against the state and its people...Those involved in sand mafia, sacrilege, irrigation scam or post-matric scholarship scheme will face severest of severe action,” said Channi while addressing a gathering after laying foundation stone of several projects.
He said that the perpetrators of these heinous crimes will be punished as per the law or land. The State Government is committed for ensuring that sinners get appropriate punishment, he added.
The Chief Minister said that any person, however affluent he may be, will be made accountable for these sins. “Even the political persons involved in these crimes against humanity will not be spared at any cost. Punjab Government is duty bound to put these culprits of the State behind the bars,” he said.
Lambasting the AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal for “hypocrisy”, the Chief Minister urged the people to remain cautious from his nefarious plans to grab power. “Kejriwal’s promises are a bundle of lies which vary from state to state,” he said.
Citing an example, Channi said that in Punjab, he is promising an allowance worth Rs 1000 to women every month, but in Goa, the same allowance promised by him is Rs 5000.
“As a fact of the matter, it is a dubious character of Kejriwal and company and people must be cautious of this. Contrary to this, the State Government is making strenuous efforts for the well being of every strata of society,” said Channi adding that no stone is being left unturned for the well being of common man.
