Sukhbir: Didn’t drop case against dera chief
SAD chief Sukhbir Badal today said his government did not withdraw the 2007 blasphemy case against Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.
Sukhbir was here for an event where members of the Democratic Party of India offered support to the SAD-BSP alliance.
Asked whether he regretted having taken back the blasphemy case at the time, he said: “Please check your record. We did not take back the case. You must check the date. The case was withdrawn when the election code had been imposed. There were just two days left for voting.”
He asserted: “Let me clarify no case against the Sirsa dera chief was taken back during our tenure. In fact, the Congress government was expected to return to power at the time. There seems to be a wrong perception created on the matter.”
On the Congress, Sukhbirsaid the ruling party was busy battling infighting, leaving the people of the state to fend for themselves. He said Navjot Singh Sidhu had all along been working to topple Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and had done nothing for the welfare of Punjabis. “Show me one achievement of Sidhu as a minister,” he said.
