Senior SAD leader and Punjab’s former Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia on Thursday declared that the party would initiate court cases against officers engaging in political vendetta with Akali workers on the directions of the Congress party.
Majithia, addressing a public meeting at Ropawali Kalan as part of his thanksgiving tour of Majithia constituency, said that the officers should not act in a partisan manner at the behest of anyone.
“It is unfortunate that this is taking place in Majha region with Congress legislators putting pressure on police officers to register false cases against Akali workers…The party would fight all vendetta cases of Akali workers,” he said.
SAD general secretary urged the Congress government to act on its poll promises instead of forming committees and putting all promises into the deep freezer. “The new Congress Government also seems to have got fond of the word review and is spending its entire exercise in review exercises instead of delivering on its poll promises,” he said.
Majithia said that agriculture economy was passing through stress as could be seen from the recent spike in farmer suicide cases.
“Farmers are rightfully waiting for an immediate loan waiver on the Uttar Pradesh pattern and are disappointed that the Government is delaying taking any decision on such a sensitive issue,” he said.
He stressed the Congress government had nothing to show for one month in office. “No concrete action has been taken to create jobs or to come up with new innovative social welfare schemes…
The Government seems to be bogged down in self-praise over trivial issues even as it is putting off taking any pro-people decision by citing various excuses. This is not a healthy start,” he said while urging to Government to get going and deliver on its promises.
