The Congress sounds the arrival of new mughals in Punjab calls for their crushing defeat

Sukhpal Singh Khaira,
MLA and Official Spokesperson.

The pomp and show displayed by the SAD-BJP at Amritsar yesterday during the filing of nomination papers of Navjot Sidhu while seating Sukhbir, Majitha, and Sidhu himself on elephants can rightly be termed as the arrival of the new Mughal emperors of Punjab. While the people of Punjab continue to suffer due to lack of basic facilities in Punjab, Sukhbir and his new team have embarked upon the path of glory once witnessed during the erstwhile Mughal emperors of India.

The State of Punjab is reeling under a massive debt burden of over Rs. 52000 crores coffers are empty unable to pay its employers. Poor helpless farmers are committing suicides in large numbers as their debt burden has crossed Rs. 25000 crores. 40% Punjab of the 12800 villages are without safe drinking water even after 60 years of independence. Our 18397 Govt. schools in the State are in shambles, without basic facilities like teaching staff, boundary walls, books, toilets etc. The 229 hospitals and thousands of dispensaries of Punjab are unable to offer medical help to the people due to lack of doctors, medicines and infrastructure. Lacs of young Punjabi’s graduates continue to remain unemployed and are taking flight to various parts of the world in search of greener pastures. Punjab is immensely short of power, villagers suffered a cut of 8–10 hours during the winter, and there is no electricity for either the agriculture sector or the industry in Punjab.

While the Punjab’s don’t have access to these daily basic needs, Mr. Sukhbir Badal the new Mughal emperor and feudal lord wants to build 5 star hotels at Amritsar and Bathinda, do people need 5 star hotels in Punjab or safe drinking waters, quality education, health services, electricity, and employments, asks the Congress?
While People of Punjab lack the above mentioned basic amenities in the State, the glamour indulged in by the new trio of Sukhbir, Sidhu and Majitha are riding on elephants ready to crush the already suffering Punjabi’s under the feet of elephants as the Mughals did in the earlier days. The Congress party therefore calls these three hot headed, arrogant and feudal leaders, the new Mughals of Punjab and calls upon the brave Punjabi’s to give a crushing defeat to these Mughals by the power of ballot.



Congress MLA Request- Immediate transfer and suspension of I.P.S.

To
The Chief Election Commissioner,
Nirvachan Sadan,
Ashoka Road,
New Delhi-110001.

Subject: - Immediate transfer and suspension of Sh. Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab as he is threatening the Congress candidates & MLAs with registration of false cases.

Sir,

The present complaint is in addition to the earlier 2 complaints made to the Hon’ble Election Commission by me (on 20-03-2009 & 31-03-2009) against Sh. Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab whose immediate transfer and suspension are required for conduct of free and fair elections in Punjab as the present SAD-BJP Government in Punjab, since its formation, has been using the Vigilance Bureau through its Chief Director Sumedh Singh Saini, IPS, as a very effective tool in intimidating its political opponents.
Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab, in order to ensure the victory of the Akali candidate, has been threatening the Congress MLAs, their families and party workers with registration of false cases by Vigilance Bureau, Punjab, in case they don’t stop supporting the Congress candidates in the present Parliamentary elections. This gets proved beyond doubt from the case of Sh. Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu, MLA, Talwandi Sabo, Punjab who belongs to the Congress Party. In the present Parliamentary elections, his Assembly constituency is a part of the Bhatinda Parliamentary Constituency where the Akali candidate is Mrs. Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the daughter-in-law of the present Chief Minister, Punjab and the wife of the Deputy Chief Minister, Punjab. Sh. Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu is supporting the Congress candidate S. Raninder Singh.
Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab, in order to make Mrs. Harsimrat Kaur win the elections, has been threatening Sh. Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu, MLA, Talwandi Sabo, Punjab with registration of false cases by Vigilance Bureau, Punjab. He has even gone to the extent of getting a case registered against him by the Vigilance Bureau and is now threatening to get more cases registered against him and his colleagues and supporters if they don’t stop campaigning for S. Raninder Singh. This fact gets substantiated from the fact that Sh. Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu had moved the Ld. Sessions Court, Bhatinda, seeking anticipatory bail against the FIR registered against him by the Vigilance Bureau, Punjab and the Ld. Court was pleased to Order that a 7 days advance notice be given to him in case he is required to be arrested vide its Order dated 17-03-2009. A copy of the Order referred to hereinabove above and the application for the anticipatory bail are annexed as Annexure A-1. The copy of his application before the Ld. Sessions Court, Bhatinda, would show that he had made same contentions even before the Ld. Sessions Court that Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab was trying to compel people to give affidavits against him levelling corruption allegations against him so as to browbeat him and stop him from campaigning for Sh. Raninder Singh.

Sumedh Singh Saini has also threatened Sh. Makhan Singh, Pucca Kalan, Sh. Ajaib Singh Bhatti, Nathana and Sh. Gurpreet Kangar, Rampura Phool (all from Punjab), whose Assembly Constituencies are falling in Bathinda Parliamentary Constituency that if they don’t support the Akali candidate and go on supporting Sh. Raninder Singh, then he would get false cases registered against them by the Vigilance Bureau and would harass us, our families, relatives as well as party workers. He has even started getting evidence fabricated against these MLAs.
Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab, is threatening the Congress leaders as well as their party workers with registration of false cases against them by the Vigilance Bureau in case they tried working for their party candidates. He is, thus, acting as an Akali henchman and as long as he continues in the present post, the elections cannot be free and fair.

The modus Operandi of the SAD-BJP Government in Punjab from the very beginning has been to give the most important postings to the officers who are facing serious allegations like those of murder or abduction with the intention to commit murder, etc., so that these officers in order to save themselves from any sort of legal and administrative action like suspension, etc., which as per the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Judgment in Niranjan Singh Vs P.R. Kharote’s case (1980) 2 SCC 559 is mandatory, would act as the right hand men of the Akali Government and would go to any extent of illegality so as to save their own skin. It is pertinent to mention here that charges have been framed against Sumedh Singh Saini, I.P.S. Chief Director Vigilance Bureau, Punjab by the Ld. Special Judge, CBI, Delhi in RC No. 2(S)/94vide order dated 6.12.2006 for kidnapping and eliminating three innocent persons due to personal enemity and thus, has been charged for the offences under Sections 342, 343, 364, 120-B of Indian Penal Code. As per the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Niranjan Singh Vs P.R. Kharote’s case (1980) 2 SCC 559, if charges have been framed against any officer in a criminal case, then that officer must be placed under suspension immediately till the decision of that case. Thus, Sh. Saini has to be placed under suspension as per the mandate of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In order to avoid such action against himself, he is exceeding all limits to oblige the Akali Government. If the SAD Government is so clean, then why has an officer facing charges of kidnapping with the intention to commit murder in 2 FIRs lodged against him by CBI and against whom charges have also been framed by CBI Special Court, rather than being placed under suspension, been posted as Chief Director Vigilance Bureau? Thus, Saini is purposely trying to create fear in our minds so as to enable the Akali party to win and to ensure that no action is taken against him.
Hence, it is requested Sh. Saini be immediately transferred from his present position as Chief Director, Vigilance Bureau, Punjab and be suspended from service in accordance with the law of the land.

 


Request to take up the issue of discrimination against Sikhs by the U.S Army, with the United States Govt. at the highest level.

To Dated 17.4.09
Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji,
Prime Minister,
India.

Subject: - Request to take up the issue of discrimination against Sikhs by the U.S Army, with the United States Govt. at the highest level.

Sir,
As has been reported in the Hindustan Times dated 16.4.09, two Sikhs namely Capt. Kamaljit Singh Kalsi a doctor and Second lieutenant Tejdeep Singh Rattan a dentist, who have just completed an army programme that pays for medical education in return for military service were asked to remove their turbans and cut their hair to become eligible for active duty in the US Army.

Needless to mention that unshorn hair and turban are symbols of pride for the Sikh Community and asking Sikhs to cut their hair and remove their turban amounts to hurting the sentiments of not only the two officers but the entire Sikh community. The Sikh community led by an organization ‘The Sikh Coalition’ have launched a signature campaign to end this biased and discriminatory act of the US Govt. A petition has also been submitted to the US Army besides holding a protest in front of the historic Marine Corps War Memorial near Pentagon on Tuesday in Washington.

The Sikhs are already suffering on account of discrimination against Sikhs living in France, where the Govt. has banned wearing of turban and other religious symbols in public schools and Govt. offices. This ban is under challenge in the United Nations Human Rights Commission in New York.

In order to restore the dignity and pride of the Sikhs, I would request the Govt. of India to take up this important issue at the highest level with their counterpart in the US Administration, to end this extreme discriminatory attitude against those Sikhs wishing to join the US Army.

I hope immediate priority would be given to this issue.

With Regards,


CC: - Sh. H.S Hanspal,
Member, National Minorities Commission,
Govt. of India.


After withdrawl of Congress ticket to Sh. Jagdish Tytler and Sh. Sajjan Kumar your turn to prove credentials by suspending Sh. Sumedh Saini IPS responsible for eliminating Sikh youth in fake encounters.

To
S. Parkash Singh Badal,
Chief Minister,
Punjab.

Subject:- After withdrawl of Congress ticket to Sh. Jagdish Tytler and Sh. Sajjan Kumar your turn to prove credentials by suspending Sh. Sumedh Saini IPS responsible for eliminating Sikh youth in fake encounters.

Dear Badal Ji,
Now that the Congress party has cancelled the candidature of Sh. Jagdish Tytler and Sh. Sajjan Kumar keeping in view Sikh sentiments over 1984 Anti- Sikh riots, it is your turn to prove your sincerity towards Sikhs as well. Needless to remind you that Sh. Sumedh Saini IPS has been charge sheeted by a special CBI court at N. Delhi u/s 342, 343, 364, 120b IPC for kidnapping and eliminating three persons in RC No. 2 (S)/ 94. Besides another F.I.R No. RC 10 of 2008 u/s 120-b, 364, 343, 330, 167, 193, IPC has been registered against him by the CBI for eliminating innocent Sikh families. Instead of suspending such like officers having criminal propensities you have recently promoted him from IGP to ADGP Chief Director Vigilance. You have in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court have eulogized him as a brave officer, Do you consider officers killing innocent people in fake encounters brave?
I also question your paradoxical approach on the Tytler issue of 1984 riots. You were Chief Minister Punjab from 1997-2002 and your NDA Govt. was in power from 1999-2004, during this period Sh. Jagdish Tytler got his first clean chit from the CBI. Why you did not oppose his clean chit then? Why you not ask the then PM Sh. Vajpayee ji to intervene? Probably you did not want to embarrass the BJP, or because there were no elections in India that time for you to rake up religious issues for political gains.
Your son Sh. Sukhbir Badal shared the same Parliament benches for the last 10 years with Sh. Tytler and Sh. Sajjan Kumar, he did not utter a single word against them, can he show the Sikh masses anything said against them on record. During your second tenure as CM after the 1984 incidents what have you done for the re habilitation of the 1984 riot affected? What have you done for the Sikh army personnel who deserted their barracks at your call in 1984? I think you did not have the courtesy to meet even one Army Sikh deserter who languished in jails for years.
In fact the popular quote best fits on your double standards in politics “To run with the hare and hunt with the hound” as is clear when the Akali Dal and the SGPC are demanding commuting the death sentence awarded to Davinderpal Singh Bhuller, while you are promoting and awarding Sh. Sumedh Saini responsible for eliminating the family of Bhuller. In case you call yourself a pro- Sikh leader and your party a representative party of Sikh, I urge that you immediately suspend Sh. Saini IPS to prove your credentials, or else I would term you as hypocrat with double facetted policies.


Dated 11.4.09

MLA Bholath.

Subject:- Deletion of name from Black list and Union War book of S. Daljit Singh s/o S. Ghasita Singh Lubana Sikh R/o V. Baagwanpur P.S Bholath Distt. Kapurthala living in exile for the last 20 years in the U.S.A.

In a major achievement, I have been able to get the name of S. Daljit Singh a Lubana Sikh deleted from the Black list prepared by Govt. of India and the Union War book prepared by the Intelligence wing of Punjab Police (Copies of both letter attached).who was forced to live in exile in the U.S.A for over 20 years.
Bibi Gian Kaur widow and mother of S. Daljit Singh had been running from pillar to post to get her son’s case reviewed from the Black listed Sikhs living abroad, so that he could visit his motherland. When, I was approached by her, I immediately wrote a letter dated 20.6.08 to the then Home Minister Sh. Shivraj Patil (Copy of letter attached) for review and deleted S. Daljit Singh’s name from the Black list.

Thereafter a string of inquiries followed by various intelligence agencies of India including RAW, IB and the intelligence wing of the Punjab police. After 6 months of intense pursuit at various levels of Govt. including Chandigarh and Delhi particularly with Sh. Asim Khurana, IAS Joint Secretary Ministry of Home, foreigners’ Division G.O.I We met with success and the Govt. vide letter dated 8.12.08 (copy attached) cleared the name of S. Daljit Singh not only from the black list but from the Union War book as well (copy attached).

I would infact again urge the Govt. of India to order thorough review of entire black list of Sikhs residing abroad on humane grounds. Many innocent Sikhs such as Daljit Singh against whom there was no case or any criminal record were forced to live in exile for such long periods without any reason. This achievement would also put to shame those Akali leaders who have been accusing me of being Anti- Lubana recently since Daljit Singh’s village is barely 5 kms from Bibi Jagir Kaur’s village and that the repeated requests of Daljit’s mother had fallen on deaf years when Bibi Jagir Kaur was MLA for 10 years. It should also be an eye opener for Mr. Badal and the Akali Dal who merely seek the votes of Sikhs on religious grounds but are not prepared to espouse their cause.


Misuse of print media to spread hate and incite passions on community lines by Bibi Jagir Kaur Ex- MLA

Sukhpal Singh Khaira,
MLA Bholath.

To Dated 6.3.09
Chief Electoral Officer,
Punjab.

Subject: - Misuse of print media to spread hate and incite passions on community lines by Bibi Jagir Kaur Ex- MLA.

Madam,
As complained yesterday to your office that the Akali’s at the behest of Bibi Jagir Kaur have been spreading hatred and inciting people on community lines thereby vitiating the atmosphere in Bholath constituency for the last four days. As complained earlier Bibi Jagir Kaur has incited her workers for last 4 days to spread hatred and burn my effigies at various places (photographs attached). Yesterday i.e. 5.4.09 she even sent about 100 Akali workers to my native village Ramgarh and burnt my effigy. My allegations can be supported by videographic evidence that the District. Administration and particularly the Kapurthala police has got done for the last few days. If the Election Commission summons the videographic evidence from the Kapurthala Administration it would become amply clear how the Akali’s at the behest of Bibi Jagir Kaur have launched a vicious hate campaign in my constituency to benefit politically.

Today my political rivals have got printed by way of advertisement my complaint sent to the Election Commission on 16.3.09 in vernacular newspapers ( copy of my Complaint used as press advertisement attached) to further aggravate the already tense atmosphere in not only Bholath but practically whole of Doaba.

Three Akali leaders have issued today’s advertisement highlighting my letter to the commission and their names are following-

1. Swaran Singh Josh, Chairman Market Committee Bholath and PA to
Bibi Jagir Kaur and Hardcore Akali
2. Jagjit Singh Dalla, Member Zila Parishad Akali Dal.
3. Surat Singh, President Akali Dal Nadala.

This conspiracy to print my compliant is primarily to incite communal passions of one particular community and in turn reap political benefit in the forth coming Lok Sabha elections. Therefore in order to ensure
free and fair elections in Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha it is highly imperative to register criminal cases against Bibi Jagir Kaur and above three mentioned
Akali leaders for violating the model code of conduct. This in an urgent matter the matter should be got inquired immediately by a senior officer out of Kapurthala district. The local administration has been facilitating the burning of effigies during the last 4 days and is hand in glove with the Akali Dal therefore we are unlikely to get justice here.
