Punjab Congress president Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday demanded resignation of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal followed by fresh elections holding him directly responsible for the anarchy in the State.
The Congress also extended total support to the demands of the Sant Samaj for the release of two brothers Rupinder Singh and Jaswinder Singh and registration of murder case against police officials responsible for opening fire killing two peopel at Behbal Kalan. At the same time, he also demanded resignation by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Avtar Singh Makkar for the denigration of the higher Sikh institutions.
He ridiculed Sukhbir Badal for trying to give impression that all was normal in the state by releasing his own pictures playing cards in Badal village saying when Rome was burning, Nero was fiddling.
Bajwa demanded independent probe, preferably judicial one, into the acts of sacrilege and the efforts to frame innocents in these cases.
He said the two brothers should be released unconditionally and case of murder be registered against the guilty police officials.
