Channi government gave important post to Khalistani terrorist Avtar Singh Pannu’s brother, controversy arose
A major controversy has erupted in Punjab ahead of the assembly elections after Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi-led Congress government appointed Balwinder Singh Kotlabama, brother of Khalistani terrorist Avtar Singh Pannu, as the chairman of Punjab Genco Ltd.
Balwinder’s appointment has created a massive uproar with the BJP and the SAD terming it as open terror appeasement.
SAD leader Sukhbir Singh Badal said that Chief Minister Channi should answer to the people.
“The government has appointed (Balwinder Singh Kotlabama) the brother of an office bearer of Sikh for Justice as chairman (of Punjab Genco Ltd). CM (Charanjit Singh) Channi should answer to the people on this,” he said.
Avtar Singh is the coordinator of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) – a separatist organization supporting the creation of Khalistan. He is on the radar of Indian agencies for his pro-Khalistan activities.
