Thereseems to be no end in sight to Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh andformer cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s ongoing tussle over the 2015sacrilege case.
Inyet another veiled attack at Punjab CM, senior Congress leader Navjot SinghSidhu shared a 2016 video clipping of Capt Amarinder wherein he can be seenpromising to send Badals to jail for Kotkapura firing incident if elected topower.
Sidhuin his tweet said, “Big Boast, Small Roast ...Big Outcry, No Outcome... #ਬੇਅਦਬੀ #Sacrilege#Bargari."
Inhis another tweet, Sidhu said, “People of Punjab did not elect the High CourtJudge, Blaming the Verdict for what is failure of Executive Authority will notbe accepted. My Stand Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow - Justice for Punjab’sSoul ... Letter to Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib for Ex-Communication of Badals(2018)”.
Meanwhile,Navjot Sidhu through both of his tweets made it clear that though hisgovernment failed to deliver justice on sacrilege cases, his stand yesterday,today and tomorrow remains the same and he will keep on demanding justice forPunjab’s soul.
Inhis first tweet, Sidhu compared the statement made by the Punjab CM in 2016wherein he promised to send Badals to jail if elected to power and thestatement recently given to a private channel saying that he cannot do ‘JattaShahi’ and simply put Badals in jail and that the law would take its own courseand he could not interfere in the SIT probe.
Itis also pertinent to mention here that, the Chief Minister breaking his silenceover Sidhu’s continuous allegations on him over sacrilege case, has termedSidhu an "opportunist".
CaptAmarinder also challenged Sidhu to contest against him from Patiala and meetthe fate of General J.J. Singh who had lost his security deposit.
Inhis two interviews to private channels, Capt Amarinder hinted that Sidhu is notclear in which party he was and that he was allegedly in talks with AAP chiefArvind Kejriwal and has plans to switch party.
Inaddition, even Congress MLA from Jalandhar Cantt Pargat Singh lashed at his owngovernment during a press conference and said it was a political andadministrative failure to provide justice to the families of the victims of theKotkapura police firing cases. He said he also asked CM Capt Amarinder Singh tofix the accountability for the lapse.
Hethen further added that Capt Amarinder Singh-led Punjab government’s graph haswitnessed a massive decline as the government failed to deliver the promisesmade in the 2017 elections.
Besides,Pargat also confirmed that his close friend and cricketer-turned-politicianNavjot Sidhu has no plans to switch party and all he is concerned about is thejustice in 2015 sacrilege cases.
