MLA from the Qadian assembly segment, Bajwa went on to say that former Punjab CM Capt Amrinder Singh took an oath by putting Gutka Sahib in his hand and announced to break the back of drug and drug mafia. He failed to do so and now he has been abandoned by the people of Punjab.
“As an Amritdhari (Baptised) Sikh and in the presence of Sikh Sangat, Sandhwan sought a month to one and half months’ time to deliver justice on an alleged police firing incident. Since the deadline has been over, now it is the people of Punjab, who would decide what to do next”, said Bajwa.
LoP said that AAP MLA and former IPS officer, Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh has already criticised his government and he has also demanded a special session of the Vidhan Sabha to debate the sacrilege and police firing incidents.
