SAD doing politics over Sikh prisoners’ issue: AAP

Kang also asked Majithia to tell that when he was a minister in the Punjab government from 2007 to 2017, how many times did he meet with Sikh prisoners

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday accused Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia of going to Patiala jail to do politics. Responding to the Akali Dal leader’s allegation that they were stopped from meeting Balwant Singh Rajoana who is lodged there, AAP’s Punjab chief spokesperson claimed that Majithia’s intention was not to meet the inmate, but only to create a scene.

He said on December 2 itself, the jail administration had made it clear that the meeting would not take place as there were some strict rules and regulations for meeting Rajoana.

Kang said the condition of SAD was so bad that even in the last by-election, they tried to use this issue for political benefit, but people saw through them and did not vote for them. “They (SAD) always try to play with emotions of people and that’s why they staged the drama of meeting Rajoana outside the jail,” the AAP leader alleged.

Kang also asked Majithia to tell that when he was a minister in the Punjab government from 2007 to 2017, how many times did he meet with Sikh prisoners. “While he was in the government, he did not go to meet Sikh prisoners even once, now he is suddenly aware of them,” he claimed.
