ED, CBI mere tools in hands of government: Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla

Amritsar, January 19

MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla accused the AAP of being a proxy to the BJP and said a seizure of over Rs 10 crore from CM Charanjit Singh Channi’s kin might be a planted move.

He, along with Raj Kumar Verka, a candidate, who is seeking re-election from the Amritsar West seat, unveiled the AICC’s programme for farmers, here on Wednesday. He said ED, CBI, Income tax and other such agencies were mere tools in the hands of the Central government. He alleged that the ED sleuths could have come with money and ‘got it planted at the raiding site’.

Aujla also drew attention on the timing of the ED raid, which coincided with the announcement of Bhagwant Mann as CM face of the AAP. He added that AAP did not take part in the protests held against three farm laws. Though, they were held just in their backyard. Raj Kumar Verka alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had snatched land of 21,000 Punjabi farmers when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat. —
