Jalandhar, December 29(Parteek Singh): The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) legislator from Nakodar, Gurpratap Singh Wadala blames Congress for doing politics of vendetta after coming back to power in Punjab. He said SAD leaders and workers are being booked under false cases in past few months under political pressure. The Akali leader claims that Bilga police has booked 4 NRIs and 2 others in a false case a day ago. He demanded that case should be withdrawn.
He said Sadhu Singh ex-chairman of Nakodar sugar mill, his brother Bhupinder Singh, Chetan Singh and Taranjit Singh Raja all are Canadian citizens. They have been booked in a false case in Bilga police station including Prabhjot Singh and Jatinder Kumar of Talwan village under FIR no. 165. They have been booked under section 353(deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 506,186. He said, Balwinder Singh, a Congress sarpanch of village Talwan has complained against them. The issue raised when sarpanch was demolishing a slab built outside their home and they stopped him, a heated argument took place. The sarpanch complained to police that they stalled him from his duty and BDO stated in his report that they have illegal possession of the land. But the construction is built on their own property and it is not illegal MLA added.
Wadala said Taranjit Singh Raja, nephew of Sadhu Singh has landed in India a couple of days ago for his marriage and they have booked him in a false case. This will make a bad impression among the NRIs if such things will happen in Punjab. They are being booked out of political vendetta as they are connected to Akali Dal. Congress Halqa In-charges and leaders are behaving irresponsibly. He demanded that case should be withdrawn from them.
Legislator said police administration is under political pressure and Akali workers are being booked in false cases all across the state. Earlier we have met DGP of Punjab regarding this issue at that time he assured us to investigate and quash all the fake cases. But there has been no action taken by police yet.
