My father exposed drunk face of Bhagwant Mann and his party: Sukhpal Khaira’s son

Mehtab Singh; and Sukhpal Khaira

After the detention of Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira, his son Mehtab Singh on Thursday alleged that this is what happens when somebody speaks against the government.

In an early morning raid on Thursday, a team of Punjab Police reached Khaira’s residence in connection with an old case registered in 2015 under the NDPS Act in Jalalabad, Fazilka.

“Sukhpal Singh exposed the drunk face of Bhagwant Mann and his party. He always stood by the families of those who died of a drug overdose in Punjab…This is what happens when somebody speaks against the government. This is the second arrest of my father in five years. This is the after-effect of speaking the truth,” Mehtab Singh said.

“In 2015, an FIR was used for this arrest. On that FIR, the court summoned us and we challenged that order in the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court quashed that order,” he added.

He said law is equal for everyone, so the family will follow all the procedure. “The law is equal for everyone. We will seek regular bail and then move high court. We will fight. If they think filing the case will scare us, they are wrong as they don’t know Sukhpal Khaira,” he said.

Mehtab Singh also met Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, who assured the family that the Congress stood firmly with Sukhpal Khaira.

Bhagwant Mann to launch anti-corruption helpline in Punjab
Chandigarh: Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Adami Party (AAP) government in Punjab has announced that it will launch an anti-corruption helpline in Punjab on the occasion of Shaheed Diwas on March 23. The government has already declared a holiday on the Shaheed Diwas (Martyr’s Day), which is observed to pay tribute to freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru.

“Bhagwant Mann Set Targets For Every Minister And If…”: Arvind Kejriwal

New Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Arvind Kejriwal said, has already “removed the security of old ministers and gave security to the public”.

“The party’s mantra is an MLA will roam among the people,” Arvind Kejriwal said.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has set targets for each minister in his cabinet and if that is not met, the people “can demand that the minister be removed,” Aam Aadmi Party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said today.  Bhagwant Mann has “covered a lot of ground within just three days”, he said, pointing to the initial announcements by the new government.

Mr Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party won a massive mandate in Punjab in the recently concluded assembly elections and Mr Mann took oath as the Chief Minister earlier this week.

The new Chief Minister, Mr Kejriwal said, has already “removed the security of old ministers and gave security to the public”.

Compensation was given for wasted crops. “He also announced Anti-Corruption Action Line, after which the people in Delhi started getting calls… improvements have started on their own,” he added.

According to the order issued by Mann on Saturday, except for the Badal family, who have been given security on the instructions of the Union Home Ministry and former CMs like Captain Amarinder Singh and Charanjit Singh Channi, the security of all other Congress and Akali Dal leaders has been lifted.

“On one hand, police stations are lying vacant, while on the other, security has been given to the leaders by setting up tents in front of their houses. We will take the load off the police. The safety of three and a half crore people is more important, said Bhagwant Mann.
