AAP functionaries trying to shield leader Pritpal Singh Bal, says SAD’s Bikram Majithia
Amritsar, October 6: Senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia asserted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government was trying to shield its Majitha Block Incharge Pritpal Singh Bal who has been accused of molesting the modesty of a fifteen year old minor girl.
In a statement, Bikram Majithia said instead of treating Pritpal Singh Bal as an accused in the case as per the complaint of the minor girl, the Majitha police was treating him as an accomplice. Asserting that this exposed the true face of Aam Aadmi Party, Majithia said in case due action was not taken against the AAP leader as per law the SAD would launch an agitation to secure justice in the case.

The SAD leader also asked chief minister Bhagwant Mann to give clear directions to the State police to deal most strictly with those who compromised the dignity of women and not to be daunted with the political connections to such criminals. “AAP prides itself on protecting women rights but in this case the rank and file of the party is trying its best to force the police to go soft on Pritpal. This is most shameful and the people of Majitha will not tolerate such dishonorable treatment towards their women folk. In case due punishment is not given to Pritpal and his accomplice the people will take the government to task”.
