Chandigarh, February 2
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) while welcoming the bail granted to senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia in a Disproportionate Assets case by the Supreme Court today, said the truth had won and the political vendetta unleashed by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and chief minister Bhagwant Mann against the Akali leader had been exposed.
Senior SAD leaders Dr Daljit Singh Cheema and Arshdeep Singh Kler said the AAP government had done its utmost to incarcerate Mr Bikram Majithia in jail and had concocted a false disproportionate assets case which it could not defend in the apex court.
The leaders said it was now clear that after the AAP government failed to present a ‘challan’ in the false narcotics case registered against the Akali leader and when its special leave petition against the bail granted to Majithia in the case was dismissed by the Supreme court, it decided to embroil the Akali leader in a false Disproportionate Assets case. “This case will eventually also meet the same end as the false narcotics case registered against Majithia”, they added.
Dr Daljit Cheema said the AAP government had proceeded against Majithia in a desperate bid to silence him as he had consistently condemned the wrong policies of the government besides speaking up for the rights of the people. “In this process Majithia’s human rights were also violated”, he said asserting “Punjabis will give a befitting answer to the AAP government for misusing the police and investigating agencies to frame its opponents in politically motivated cases”.
