Re: ‘Patit’, and Indelibly Inked
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Capt Amarinder Singh today said the inquiry ordered into illegal voting in the SGPC elections was too little and too late, as even non-Sikhs were allowed to vote in Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s village.
“It is like locking the stable doors after the horse has bolted,” Capt Amarinder remarked in a statement.. The PCC President asked the Commission as to what “action” did it expected to take since he was an employee of the government headed by Parkash Singh Badal. “Moreover, no action would serve any purpose as the election process, even though it was a sham, had already been completed and the results declared,” he added.
Amarinder also accused the Chief Minister of failing to take timely measures against floods in the state. He said instead of blaming the Centre, Badal should announce a time-bound special girdawari. Amarinder claimed that the Irrigation Department had pumped out floodwater from different villages in the Lambi constituency represented by Badal and released the same into Abohar villages.
“This is an act of shamelessness,” he remarked.
