Shiromani Akali Dal leader is facing charges in illicit drug trade
Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly and Aam Aadmi Party MLA Harpal Cheema on Thursday accused the ruling Congress government of deliberately not arresting former Minister and Shiromani Akali Dal leader Birkram Majithia, who is facing charges in illicit drug trade.
Mr. Cheema said the FIR against Mr. Majithia was registered several days ago. “Why has the Congress failed to arrest Bikram Majithia. Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu are going to the town on the FIR. They should clarify whether their action in the drug mafia case was limited to just an FIR and a few statements? Or will it go beyond with some concrete action,” he said.
Hitting out at the Congress government, Mr. Cheema said the FIR was just a political ploy by the Congress government for their own political gains by fooling the people about their intentions regarding the mafia.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
