After former Punjab Cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, JalandharCantt Congress MLA Pargat Singh has now hit back at Punjab Chief MinisterAmarinder Singh for his government’s utter failure in carrying out an unbiased andfair investigation in the Kotkapura police firing case.
MLA Pargat Singh called for a media conference and has lashed at his own government and said it was a political and administrativefailure to provide justice to the families of the victims of the Kotkapurapolice firing cases. He has also askedCM Capt Amarinder Singh to fix the accountability for the lapse.
Taking cognizance of the CM’s behavior towards Navjot SinghSidhu, Jalandhar MLA said, “it isn’t expected from a person who’s a fatherfigure for his state.”
“Asking Sidhu to contest election against him is a fallacy,”Pargat Singh added.
He went to say that such challenges are thrown by small andevolving leaders but not by a person who is well-known.
Capt Amarinder Singh-led Punjab government’s graph haswitnessed a massive decline as the government failed to deliver the promisesmade in the 2017 elections, Singh said.
He asserted that 2017 Assembly Elections were conducted andwon in the face of Capt Amarinder Singh as the public supported him and likedhis work. However now, it would be better for Punjab CM to conduct a survey toknow if in the upcoming elections of 2022 he would return to his positiongloriously.
“2017 elections were his last,” Singh said.
Divulging the ground reality, Pargat Singh said, in theremote areas of Punjab, people consider Badal and Capt Amarinder Singh birds ofthe same flock. He added, according to the public’s opinion, SAD has a face torepresent their party while Congress does not portray the CM figure as thepresent government failed to deliver the promises. However, AAP has to buildthemselves from the scrap in the state and as of now, they have no face to putin front for CM candidate to contest in the Assembly Elections of 2022.”
Regarding the delayed justice in Sacrilege Case MLA PargatSingh said, “ political will is lacking in the governance hence, culprits arenot yet put behind the bars.”
Notably, Pargat Singh is the closest aid of Navjot SinghSidhu and he has supported the latter’s notion upon the justice delayed in theSacrilege case.
Targeting the government, Pargat Singh added, “I had alsowritten a letter to Punjab CM to draw his attention towards the promises thatare not been delivered, it also included the justice to the families of victimsin the firing case.
