Dina Nagar, 28 September(Wishav Warta): Addressing a public meeting in Dinanagar today, the Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira lashed out at the BJP candidate Swaran Salaria for indulging in corrupt practices with respect to his Chintpurni Medical College and his immoral track record. Khaira while speaking at the meeting stated, that it is a matter of record that Swaran Salaria was booked u/s 376, 420, 506 of the IPC at Vakola police station, Mumbai in December 2014. The said case of rape and cheating was registered on the complaint by a 55 year old air hostess working with Air India alleging that Salaria raped her for 22 years on the pretext of marriage. Salaria may have silenced the voice of the aggrieved air hostess with his brutal money power but the alleged rape incident has brought out a villainous character of the BJP candidate.
Similarly, Salaria has spoilt the careers of hundreds of youth of Gurdaspur, through his dubious Chintpurni Medical College and Hospital Pathankot. It is also a matter of fact that the future of said medical students has been hanging fire since 2011 after the Medical Council of India refused to give approval to the institution citing various anomalies in its functioning. The BJP candidate continued to admit students in 2014, 2015, 2016 despite no approval from the MCI. Thereafter, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has recently ordered shifting of these aggrieved students to other medical colleges of the state, stated Khaira. By doing so Salaria has not only embezzled crores of rupees from the youth on account of offering them medical seats but has also indulged in blatant corruption by cheating his own electorate, said Khaira.
Khaira while speaking wondered how the people of Gurdaspur could trust a man with such a nefarious track record by electing him as their representative to the Lok Sabha. Khaira dared Swaran Salaria to have an open debate with AAP candidate Major General Suresh Khajuria on his immoral and corrupt practices.
Khaira while addressing the gathering said that BJP must be taught a lesson for grossly discriminating with the industry of Punjab, as the Modi government has recently extended for 10 more years the industrial tax holiday to the hill states of Himachal Pradesh, J&K etc. at the cost of Punjab. Needless to mention he said that more than 30000 small and medium scale industrial units had either closed down or shifted out of Punjab, due to the said discrimination by the successive central governments. He reminded the electorate of Gurdaspur that their industry of Batala and Dhariwal had immensely suffered due to this discrimination of the Modi government.
In the same breath Khaira also took to task Sunil Jakhar who he said was looking for political rehabilitation through the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat after being routed and rejected from Abohar and the Ferozpur Lok Sabha seats. Khaira made a fervent appeal to the electorate of Gurdaspur to elect a clean, unblemished and an educated Major General Suresh Khajuria to the Lok Sabha polling for which is slated for 11th October.
