Bhagwant Mann on Sidhu Moosewala: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Musewala was like his “younger brother”. He was answering questions from Rajat Sharma on India TV’s show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ on Saturday (June 17).
On the murder of popular singer Moosewala, the Punjab chief minister said, “Moosewala was like my younger brother. He was an artiste, a big one. He even crossed the language barrier. The day the incident took place, two There were gunmen. , which he did not take with him. He had a specially made bulletproof vehicle, which he did not take. The reason is not only this. Every death hurts us.’
“We arrested 29 gangsters, three were killed in an encounter, nearly 3,000-page charge sheet was filed. We on our part are not trying to protect anyone who provides political asylum (protection) to gangsters. We are with the people of Punjab. Who gave protection to the killers? They belonged to other parties. They are no longer mafia. Sand mafia, land mafia, transport mafia, all mafias have ended. Everything is over. That’s why they abuse me because I don’t want to earn money from them.
Punjab CM on withdrawal of security of 122 MLAs and ministers
On the withdrawal of security of 122 MLAs and ministers, including former MLAs, Mann said that they take security guards, but do not take security work from them. “They take security guards but do not take security work from them. There are many in Punjab Police, whom we are still looking for, who used to rear poultry, do housekeeping, drop children to school in the name of security. After all, what is the danger to them? If you are a public servant, go to the public.
Sidhu Musewala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh, was shot dead by six assailants on May 29 last year in Jawahar village of Mansa district in Punjab. His distinctive style and powerful lyrics have enthralled audiences around the world.
Chief Minister of Punjab on corruption
Mann has warned his party workers not to indulge in corruption. He said, “I will not spare anyone, not even my close relative, if he is found involved in corruption.” He was asked why AAP MLAs and ministers are afraid of him because no one can tell when Mann will sack whom.
Value: “And also no one knows who will be made a minister. It is good. Everyone should aspire to become a minister. And if someone does wrong, even if he is my close relative, he will be punished I’ve already said it.” 15 months passed, if I took one rupee or embezzled one rupee of public money, it would be like taking a pill of sulfa (poison). No one can guarantee more than this in today’s era.
Notably, in August last year, Mann had sacked Health Minister Vijay Singla following complaints of corruption, while in February this year, AAP MLA Amit Ratan Kotphatta was arrested by the Vigilance Bureau on corruption charges.
Rajat Sharma: Is it a tradition in Punjab not to nail family members, be it Badal or Amarinder’s family?
Value: “Absolutely, this is the sad aspect. First we sacked our health minister, then one of our MLAs was sacked. If we catch others for corruption, we have to clean our house too. Our election symbol” ‘Broom’ is cleaning.” above is required. Broom will be used wherever cleaning is required. I have only one agenda: not to allow public money to be misused, whether it was done 10 years ago, or 15 years ago. I’ll account for that. We caught hold of a former Congress minister (Sunder Sham Arora). A currency counting machine was recovered from his house. There were huge luxurious houses and large rooms made of precious marble. Why was there a counting machine? It is commonly used in banks. That is, they used to get cash everyday, and they needed a counting machine to count them. Where will you take so much loot? He built a huge house, and where is he living now? Inside a cell in a prison.
