A day after Punjab advocate general Amar Preet Singh Deolretaliated against Congress leader Navjot Sidhu and accused him of “obstructingthe government's functioning”, the latter has yet again targeted Deol saying ‘Justiceis blind but people of Punjab are not’.
In a series of tweet, Navjot Sidhu needled Punjab AG APSDeol, saying “Our Congress party came in power with a promise to give justicein Sacrilege Cases, in which you appeared before the High Court for mainconspirators/accused persons and made serious allegations against our Govt”.
“Further, You specifically prayed for transferring theinvestigation to CBI as you were afraid of their false implication in Sacrilegecases on accounts of malafide, malice and ulterior motives on the part ofpolitical party in power in the state of Punjab”, Sidhu tweeted.
“Today, you are representing the same Government of samepolitical party in power and accusing me of spreading misinformation, whereas,I am fighting for justice in Sacrilege cases and you were procuring blanketbails for the accused persons”, claimed Navjot Sidhu.
He further added, “May I know which interest (vested orotherwise) were you acting for when you appeared for the main conspirators andprocured blanket bail for them and which interest, you are acting now? #ActionsSpeakLouderThanWords”
“Are you acting at the behest of those who appointed youin this constitutional office and fulfilling their political gains? Did youadvise the Government to challenge the blanket bail order procured by you orany other adverse order in Sacrilege cases in Supreme Court?”
“You appeared for the accused, now representing the Stateand very soon you will seek elevation as a judge so that you can decide thiscase. Being the highest law officer, your focus is on politics and politicalgains”, he added.
Sidhu further said, “Leave the politics to thepoliticians and focus on your personal conscience, integrity and professionalethics, which your job requires”. #NoJusticeInSight
“In the hearing of Drugs case in High Court on05.10.2021, upon being asked that what is stopping Govt. for taking action onthe basis of STF Report filed in High Court, you replied that “It would beethically wrong to proceed in the matter without the Court’s Nod.”
“May I know what is unethical in proceeding against theaccused persons on the basis of STF Report who are responsible fornarcotics-terrorism in Punjab and has put India’s most prosperous state indanger of losing an entire generation to drug abuse? Did Hon’ble High Courtstop you? Hon’ble High Court itself gave a copy of the STF report to ourGovernment for consideration and you are shielding the inaction of theGovernment under the guise of your own unknown Ethics”, Sidhu said.
Navjot Sidhu said that he believes that Ethics is aboutthe way things ought to be, not about the way things are. “Ethical people oftendo more than law requires and less than it allows. When it comes to ethics,motive is very important. A person of character does the right thing for rightreason with right motive. Your earnest inaction is clearly subverting justicerather than ensuring it”, he added.
