Amritsar, Punjab: Dal Khalsa has observed that truth, morality and ethics were missing in the Punjab politicians across the spectrum.
Commenting on the Enforcement Directorate summoning the Punjab minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia on December 26 in connection with the drug smuggling international racket, the Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said there was a widespread demand for Majithia’s resignation. However, Majithia’s party Shiromani Akali Dal was shamelessly defending him where as the opponents were over-enthusiastic in destabilizing him politically.
He said had Majithia been morally upright, he would have resigned on his own. “It looks, the sense of morality, ethics and values was missing in him”. State power has corrupted his mind, said he.
“It’s ironic that even if Majithia quits his office, he would be protected by his brother-in-law Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and sister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, who is Central minister at all cost by all means”. “We believe at the end of the day, long arm of the law would fail to catch the so-called mightier politician, he opined”.
He said the strange and interesting aspect is that Majithia’s resignation issue has turned friends into foes and brought two arch rivals on same page. “The BJP leadership is speaking against its own alliance partner in the same voice as that of the Congress leaders vis-à-vis Majithia’s resignation”.
