Chandigarh, February 28
Senior leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia strongly criticized Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the Director General of Police during a rally held in Bathinda (Rampura Phul). He alleged that under the directions of their “Delhi boss” Arvind Kejriwal, they were carrying out a systematic targeting of Punjab’s youth. He stated that neither the Shiromani Akali Dal nor the people of Punjab would tolerate what he described as the “genocide” of Punjabi youth.
Majithia claimed that an innocent Sikh youth was killed in a fake encounter in Gurdaspur under allegations related to the murder of police personnel. He said anger over the incident was growing not only in villages across Punjab but also among the Punjabi diaspora abroad.
He further stated that during an earlier press conference, the Chief Minister had suggested that the two police personnel had died due to an internal clash. However, later a 19-year-old Sikh youth was taken into custody from his home for questioning, and a narrative similar to the recent alleged encounter of a 17-year-old youth in Mohali was presented in this case as well. Majithia demanded a high-level inquiry into what he termed a “fake police encounter.” He also called for a murder case under Section 302 to be registered against the Chief Minister, the DGP, and the SSP of Gurdaspur.
Speaking on the occasion, senior Akali leader Sikander Singh Maluka said that during the Shiromani Akali Dal government, no effort was spared in ensuring development in the constituency. He stated that whenever the late Parkash Singh Badal was approached with demands for the area, he prioritized and fulfilled them.
Maluka claimed that the highest number of schools, power grids, grain markets, and wide roads were established in the constituency during the Akali regime. He added that two colleges and several other facilities were also set up, crediting the development to Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal. He asserted that once the Akali Dal returns to power in the state, a new wave of development would be brought to the constituency.
