Punjab AAP govt has violated law by registering DA case against Majithia: SAD

Chandigarh, June 26 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal today accused Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of "violating the law" by registering a disproportionate assets case against senior SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia without holding either a preliminary or regular probe.
The SAD also charged the ruling AAP with indulging in "political vendetta to gag" Majithia as well as divert attention from the failure of its 'Yudh Nashean Virudh' drive.
Addressing a press conference here, senior leaders Balwinder Singh Bhundar, Maheshinder Singh Grewal and Daljit Singh Cheema alleged the AAP government was "misleading" Punjabis and even committing contempt of court by stating that Majithia had been arrested in a Rs 540 crore drug case.
“This is not only absurd but a bundle of lies for which the AAP leaders will be held accountable”, Grewal said adding “the government should spell out why it has not released a single complaint with regard to the Rs 540 crore figure it had concocted in either the FIR or otherwise”.
He said in stark contrast when AAP National Convenor and erstwhile Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia had been arrested in the Delhi liquor scam there were specific complaints from liquor contractors "that they had given bribe money to the duo".
He also cited how earlier Majithia had been granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the NDPS case registered against him by the previous Congress government after it found that there was no recovery of drug money, no transaction had been proved and that no money had been exchanged.
Grewal said the public prosecutor had stated today that only a disproportionate assets case had been registered against Majithia. “Even this is fabricated. The properties mentioned in the complaint were in the Majithia family even before Bikram Majithia was born. The Majithia family is an old landed family with Majithia’s grandfather owning planes and even a Rolls Royce car. It has also been wrongly imputed that Majithia was responsible for decision making in the Saraya Industries as he had resigned as a Director of the company in 2007”.
Dr Daljeet Cheema said all the allegations mentioned in the new case against Majithia had been submitted to the Supreme Court recently while seeking to cancel the bail given to the Akali leader in a NDPS case.
“The Supreme Court did not take cogniSance of the allegations and now they have been recycled and turned into a new case”. He also cited how the AAP government had created a curfew like situation in the Mohali court where Majithia was presented today resulting in harassment of litigants.
Veteran leader Balwinder Singh Bhundar said the vindictive action had made people remember the Emergency and termed it as the "murder of democracy". He said the AAP government had been trying to implicate Majithia in a "false case" over the last three years and had formed repeated SITs and even suspended officers to force them to do their illegal bidding.
He also thanked the opposition for expressing solidarity with Majithia and raising its voice against his arrest.
Senior leaders Sikandar Singh Maluka and Lakhbir Singh Lodhinangal were present on the occasion. UNI GS SSP
