Chandigarh, August 6

Senior AAP leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema today alleged that Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu was colluding with ministers and MLAs who have been accused by people of running a mafia. He said if the AAP government came to power, legal action would be taken against ministers and MLAs who had looted the exchequer of the state.

Addressing the media here, Cheema claimed Sidhu had double standards. He alleged first Sidhu talked about eradicating the sand, liquor, transport, land and other mafias, but was now meeting the MLAs and ministers who were accused of having links with mafias.

The Leader of Opposition further alleged at the time of deaths due to illicit liquor in the Majha region, Sidhu used to talk of providing justice to the victims but ever since he was elevated to the PCC president’s post, he had gone silent on the issue. — TNS
