Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu once againcriticised Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi over delays in submitting pleatowards bail to former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini in Behbal Kalan Kotkapura firingcase.
“Channi government lacks political will to deliverjustice to people of Punjab," asserted Sidhu.
Sidhu’s remarks come a day after he lashed out at 'inquestion' Advocate General APS Deol for latter's statement on the 2015sacrilege case.
While speaking outside the state Assembly, Sidhu accusedthe ruling dispensation of delaying the filing of a special leave petitionagainst the blanket bail granted to former DGP Saini, one of the key peoplenamed in the Behbal Kalan police firing cases.
He went on to say that the new SIT has been working onthe Kotkapura police firing case for one day longer than the six-month and thatno concrete steps toward justice have been taken. He went after the DGP and theAG once more, claiming that the party can choose between the compromisedofficers and him.
"I have stood on principles and high moral ground,and I am not among those who changed their stand after Capt Amarinder Singh wasousted," Sidhu said, adding the "people of Punjab were waiting forjustice in the sacrilege case, and that the state government lacked the"will" to deliver it."
"I have never and will never, compromise. Justice inthe sacrilege case is not, for me, a means of gaining power like it is forothers. I will fight for justice with all my might," Sidhu declared as heveiled an attack on CM Channi.
The statement by PPCC chief comes just two after, AG Deolstated, “Navjot Singh Sidhu's repeated statements aim to derail the Stategovernment's sincere efforts to ensure justice in the drug and sacrilege cases.In order to gain political advantage over his political colleagues, Sidhu isspreading false information.”
Sidhu has been attacking the “tainted officials” alongwith CM Channi for a long time now. However, the newly elected party top brassseems to be firm on his decision of the appointment of individuals.
