Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Punjab Congress chairman, stated on Sunday that he will not stop until senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia, who has been charged under the NDPS Act, is apprehended. He told a public rally in Batala, Gurdaspur, that simply filing an FIR against Majithia is not enough. Sidhu poked fun at the senior Akali leader, challenging him to face the law. “Where are you, Bikram Majithia?” he inquired, adding, “Be at home if you have courage.” Are you afraid?” In his speech, the state Congress head argued for his ‘Punjab model’ of administration, promising to offer minimum support prices for pulses and oilseeds if his party regains power in the state. Sidhu also told the crowd that he was the only person who fought the sand mafia for five years. He remarked, sharpening his attack on Majithia, “With the FIR, nothing will happen. Sidhu will not rest until he (Majithia) is apprehended.” On the basis of a 2018 status report of a probe into the state’s drug racket, Majithia has been charged under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Harpreet Singh Sidhu, the head of the Anti-Drug Special Task Force (STF), filed the report before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2018. Majithia’s anticipatory bail request was also denied by a Mohali court.

A watch notification has also been issued against the former Punjab minister, preventing him from leaving the country. Sidhu was also spotted criticizing the government of his own party. He inquired if he had a cable TV subscription for Rs 100 per month. He predicted that there would be a lot of announcements. Do you have cable for Rs 100? Are you getting sand for free? Sand costs between Rs 3,700 and Rs 4,400. (trolley). That is why the Congress leader stated, “I am telling you that mere words would not work.” Sidhu claimed that because Batala is recognized for its foundry sector, the local industry would be allowed to acquire the lowest power available anywhere in the country. He also warned the crowd not to fall into the trap set by AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. Sidhu slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for failing to deliver promised jobs to residents of the national capital. Sidhu remarked that if people wanted to rescue Punjab’s next-generation, punish people like Majithia, provide justice in sacrilege situations, and provide employment for the young, they should put an honest person in charge. He stated, “The chief minister does everything; he has unlimited control.” “If you put an honest person at the top,” the Congress leader stated, “honesty and transparency will seep down below.” Sidhu also endorsed local leader Ashwani Sekhri’s candidacy for the Batala seat.
