AAP’s state chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang.

Accusing him of patronising the 2015 Kotkapura firing case accused, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday asked Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal to clarify his involvement in this case and his association with Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

Addressing a press conference, AAP’s state chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang said that as the SIT has summoned the Akali leader, they hope he will clarify who had ordered the firing on “peaceful” Sikh protestors and the ones who had conspired with the dera chief and also promoted his movies in Punjab.

Kang was accompanied by party spokespersons Ravinder Singh and RPS Malhotra. Asked about Sukhbir’s accusations of ₹500-crore excise scam in the state, Kang denied any irregularities in liquor policy as alleged by the Akali leader. He accused the Badal family of patronising transport mafia, drug mafia, cable mafia and mining mafia. “Due to their nefarious policies, Punjab is in huge debt today,” he alleged.
