Chandigarh, October 11

Taking on AAP leader Kanwar Sandhu for alleging a Congress-Akali nexus on illegal mining, the state Congress today accused him of taking favours from the Akali Dal over the years.

Demanding an explanation for the alleged backdoor admission of his son and subsequent appointment as PCMS doctor, Congress leaders Gurkirat Singh Kotli, Amrik Singh Dhillon and Balbir Singh Sidhu, in a joint statement, rubbished Sandhu’s statement on illegal mining as baseless and illogical.

Sandhu said the Congress leaders were not talking on facts. “The admission of my son was purely done on merit. Moreover, the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the ongoing case has given him a clean chit. The Congress should cross-check facts before levelling allegations,” he said, adding that if the Congress proved that he had been allotted a plot in medi-city (Mullanpur), he would donate it to them.
