The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab has strongly condemned Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal for publicly threatening a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), saying that Sukhbir Badal still refuses to accept the reality that his government is gone and will never return.<\/p>\n
Addressing a press conference at the party office on Saturday, MLA Kuldeep Dhaliwal said that by threatening government officials, Sukhbir Badal is expressing his frustration. \u201cPerhaps he has forgotten how his government misused power during its tenure and looted Punjab\u2019s resources,\u201d Dhaliwal said.<\/p>\n
He further said that during Sukhbir Badal\u2019s rule, he ran several mafias including the sand mafia, land mafia, transport mafia, and cable mafia, which devastated Punjab. \u201cThe number of false cases registered under his government was unprecedented in history. No government has registered so many fake cases before,\u201d Dhaliwal added. Mocking Sukhbir Badal, he said, \u201cHe fails to understand that the people of Punjab closed his chapter in 2022. He should now stop dreaming of returning to power.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dhaliwal reminded people that Punjabis have not forgotten the horrific incidents under the Akali Dal regime, how a young girl was thrown off a bus and killed in Moga, and how in Amritsar, a policeman trying to save a girl\u2019s honour was killed by Badal\u2019s goons.<\/p>\n
Questioning Sukhbir Badal, Dhaliwal said, \u201cWhen you were in power, police officers look very good to you. But the moment another government comes to power, the same officers suddenly are bad. Then you start carrying a diary around and intimidating officers. But let me tell you, today Punjab is ruled by law, and your threats will have no impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting on Sukhbir Badal\u2019s desire to become Chief Minister, Dhaliwal reminded him that even when his father, the late Sardar Parkash Singh Badal, was CM, he never accepted the advice of several Akali leaders to make Sukhbir the Chief Minister. \u201cIf your own father knew you were not capable of this responsibility, how can the people of Punjab make such a mistake?\u201d Dhaliwal asked.<\/p>\n
Kuldeep Dhaliwal warned Sukhbir Badal not to try to intimidate officials with threats and instead respect the democratic verdict. \u201cThe people of Punjab have chosen an honest government, and there is no place for hooliganism or mafia rule here anymore,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
