Punjab: Zira ‘punished’ by party, but his allegations spur action

Ludhiana | Sunday | 20th January, 2019

Summary:

Phurman Singh, when asked about the allegations made by Zira, said, “Zira himself is a big fraud and his men sell smuggled liquor from Haryana. Zira had even alleged that IG Mukhwinder Singh Chhina was protecting Phurman Singh. Excise department had to file a review application out of political compulsion and on court hearing date, I will come out clean. KULBEER SINGH ZIRA, the Congress legislator from Zira, may have been suspended by the party over his public outburst at alleged inaction against liquor contractors selling illicit alcohol, but his allegations seems to have spurred some action on the ground. Excise department had taken action well in time”..
