Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia on Sunday assured full cooperation with the Enforcement Directorate to bring to an end the witch hunt allegedly engineered against him by his political enemies.
In a statement issued here, Majithia said he had always stood for cooperation with investigations. “In fact I was not at home when the summons were delivered at my residence and with the motive of cooperating I contacted the concerned Enforcement Directorate official on phone and directed my staff to receive the summons immediately.” The Revenue Minister said he was clear in his mind that the truth should surface and the malicious campaign should stop. “I know I am innocent but continue to be subjected to a media trial. Certain leaders, including Punjab Congress president Partap Singh Bajwa, have even gone to court but failed to present any evidence against me and now are trying to create a wrong perception against me through the media. All allegations are baseless and are not backed by any evidence”.
He asserted that he was all for a thorough investigation into the matter to end the political witch hunt which he was being subjected to on a daily basis for over a year. He, however, asserted there was no basis for the investigation. It was unfortunate that few political leaders rode piggy back on the allegations to tarnish my image”. “I would also like to state that five central investigating agencies under the Congress led UPA regime had gone into the allegations leveled against me and found nothing. Similarly the PIl filed by few Congress leaders against me was also dismissed by the High Court with the petitioners being told not to politicise the drug issue,” he added.
