Amritsar, Dec 21 (PTI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal alleged on Tuesday that an FIR lodged against his party colleague Bikram Singh Majithia was based on a "brazenly false case" and warned "those abusing their official positions and playing havoc with the rule of law" to be ready to face legal consequences.He further said the SAD "accepts the challenge of the false case" against Majithia, who has been booked under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, based on the status report of the anti-drug Special Task Force (STF) chief, Harpreet Singh Sidhu, on a drug racket operating in Punjab.
It was filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2018.Majithia is the brother-in-law of Sukhbir Singh Badal."Anyone who joins the SAD is fully prepared to face and defeat repression.
We will not be cowed down by these pygmies.
They have invited their own doom by resorting to lies and abusing their official positions.
The SAD will fight them in the court as well as in the court of the people," Badal said.He said it is public knowledge how Siddharth Chattopadhyaya has been rewarded with the post of the director general of police (DGP) in Punjab "in return for his promise to carry forward the Congress government"s agenda of vendetta politics"."Several police officers were offered allurements as well as arm-twisted to somehow book Akali leaders in false cases.
But most of them refused.
