Asserting that vendetta politics will prove counterproductive for the ruling Congress party, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday declared that the party would fight “vendetta case” against party leader Bikram Sinmgh Majithia in the court of law as well as the court of people. SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said that the more the Congress Government tried to suppress the party by employing vendetta politics, the more popular it would become. “The people have seen through the Congress game and would never forgive it for wasting five years politicizing the sensitive issue of sacrilege,” he said while addressing a rally in the support of party candidate Capt Harminder Singh.
Sukhbir said the Akali Dal was not only fighting against the Congress party in Punjab but also the Central Government and the AAP government of Delhi. “Attempts are being made to weaken the party as well as Sikh institutions. This conspiracy, however, won’t succeed,” he added.
“The people know that the Congress party is raking up the issue of sacrilege as well as registering a false case against Bikram Majithia to divert attention from its failures. They also know about the struggle the farmers had to wage against the Centre to get the three black laws repealed. They also know about the double game being played by AAP which is essentially anti-Punjab and anti-Punjabi,” said Sukhbir.
Speaking about the false case registered against Majithia, Sukhbir said that the Congress Government changed two DGPs and three Bureau of Investigation (BOI) Directors to implement its vendetta against the SAD.
“Eventually, it is a DGP who is not even eligible for empanelment as a regular DGP who was given charge of the office as a quid-pro-quo to register the false case....SAD would expose this false case both in the courts as well as publically. We will take this corrupt and vengeful government to task. All those who are working outside the ambit of the Constitution will have to answer for their omissions and commissions as per law,” declared Sukhbir.
