Chandigarh: The Punjab Unit of the Aam Adami Party (AAP) on Tuesday demanded immediate transfer of Punjab DGP Suresh Arora and accused him of complicity with Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal in promoting his political interests.
In a press note released by the party in the evening, the AAP state convener Gurpreet Ghuggi and Human right wing Chief, Adv. Navkiran Singh has demanded from Election Commission of India to transfer DGP without further delay for free and fair elections in Punjab. Gurpreet Ghuggi said that Suresh Arora who was recently divested of his charge of Chief Director Vigilance would influence the election process if allowed to continue on his post. “His continuation as head of Police force would defeat the whole purpose of Election Commission of India”, he commented.
Gurpreet Ghuggi alleged that Suresh Arora is working more of an Badal Dal worker, Mr Ghuggi stated that DGP Arora had taken no action in the sacrilege case of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, which lead to killing of two persons in police firing in Behbal Kalan and rather reinstated the SSP Moga Charanjit Singh responsible for the firing. The sacrilege incidents were handiwork of ruling party to disturb the communal harmony for political gains, AAP leader asserted.
Adv Navkiran Singh maintained that DGP had also failed to find any clue into the murder of RSS leader Jagdish Gagneja. Instead he helped to cover up the murders of Chand Kaur and a Shiv Sena leader of Khanna. He further said that it was shocking that police had failed to trace the scripture of Guru Granth Sahib which had gone missing from Bargari. He added that Sukhbir Badal had hidden motives behind political murders and sacrilege of Guru Grnath Sahib at Bargari.
Mr Ghuggi further accused DGP Suresh Arora for facilitating escape of five gangsters from Nabha high security jail at the behest of Sukhbir Badal. He said that even after two months there is no trace of gangsters who are given shelter by ruling party leaders to use them against political rivals.
Furthermore, Adv Navkiran claimed that DGP Arora was not only serving his political masters in the Badal-BJP government but moreover was proving instrumental in clearing the charges of corruption against PPCC president Capt Amarinder Singh at the behest of Sukhbir Badal. Arora had submitted plea in the trial court for cancellation of Vigilance charge sheet against Captain Amarinder Singh. “Both Sukhbir Badal and Capt Amarinder Singh are hand in glove and using the DGP for mutual benefits”, AAP leader alleged.
