Shiromani Akali Dal on Wednesday asked the senior Congress leader Capt Amarinder Singh to quit politics and face law as ordinary criminal for amassing “corrupt wealth” and siphoning off billions of dollars through fraudulent accounts in Swiss banks.
“A person and family facing such grave allegations of personal dishonesty have no right to be in public life. As Chief Minister of Punjab, Amarinder had been misusing the trust of the people to defraud them of their hard earned money,” said senior Akali leaders Balwinder Singh Bhunder, Prem Singh Chandumajra and Maheshinder Singh Grewal.
SAD has asked the Central Government to bring this money back to India and hand it over to the people of Punjab as it is their money looted during the tenure of Capt Amarinder Singh as Chief Minister.
The Akali leaders also referred to the infamous Intranet scam involving Capt Amarinder’s family, especially his son Raninder Singh, which was exposed by the newspapers during his Chief Ministerial term.
