Inyet another fresh attack on Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh over 2015 sacrilege incidents,former Cabinet Minister Navjot Sidhu accused him of evading responsibility and makingAdvocate General (AG) a scapegoat.
Inhis tweet, Sidhu said, “Is the sacrilege case not the top priority for the HomeMinister? Evading responsibility & making only Advocate General (AG) ascapegoat means the Executive Authority has no supervisory control. Whocontrols the AG? Legal Team is just a pawn in this game of shiftingresponsibilities”.
Meanwhile,this is the fifth such tweet in which cricketer-turned-politician Sidhuquestioned the role of Congress Government and he earlier demanded that thereport of the SIT of Punjab Police probing the sacrilege incidents of 2015 mustbe made public.
TheSIT probe controversy started after the Punjab and Haryana High Court on April9 quashed the investigation into the Kotkapur firing case and directed thestate to constitute a new SIT without Vijay Pratap Singh.
Besides,this is the first time Navjot Sidhu has attacked Amarinder overtly and asked ifthe sacrilege case not the top priority for the Home Minister, and it is PunjabCM Capt Amarinder who holds the Home portfolio.
OnWednesday, Sidhu in his tweet blamed the “one person” for having colluded withthe culprits, while sharing his old clips against the sacrilege issue. He,however, neither disclosed the name of the person, nor did he clarify about theculprits he was talking about.
Histweet reads, “Carefully crafted collusive abetment leading to ...हम तो डूबेंगे सनम, तुम्हें भी ले डूबेंगे I Itis not a failure of the Govt or the party, but one person who is hand in glovewith the culprits”.
Also,since the High Court quashed the SIT probe, Sidhu through his tweets has hintedthat things are not smooth, saying: "When you keep your consciousmortgage, then no power matters."
Moreover,Sidhu's return to the Punjab Cabinet too hangs in balance as there is noindication from the Chief Minister of this happening, despite the efforts ofthe Congress leadership and the party's General Secretary in-charge of Punjab,Harish Rawat.
