CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu is back at hitting out at his own party’s state government led by Amarinder Singh. On Monday, he alleged that there had been a delay in acting on a report prepared by Punjab Police’s special task force (STF) on drugs. He said if the sealed report was not made public, he would move a resolution in the next assembly session.
He also sought to know the action taken against SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia.
In a thread posted on Twitter, Sidhu said it was in February 2018 that the STF headed by ADGP Harpreet Sidhu had filed a “status report” in the Punjab and Haryana high court, which showed investigations into “statements and evidence recorded by ED that were submitted before the court in the case of Majithia and others’ involvement in drug trafficking”. “What investigation had Punjab Police done? What action had the Punjab government taken? Must be brought into the public domain. Since submission of reports, what further action did the state take in 2.5 years? The government must make itself accountable to the public with complete transparency,” he added.
He tweeted that he had held a press conference that year, asking the state to immediately act upon the information shared by the STF with the court, after investigating into “incriminating evidence produced before the court by Enforcement Directorate”.
