Amritsar, January 28

AAP today released photographs of Bikram Singh Majithia with international drug lord Satpreet Singh Satta.

Addressing mediapersons here, AAP’s Amritsar Lok Sabha byelection candidate Upkar Singh Sandhu and its candidate for the Majitha Assembly segment, Himmat Singh Shergill, said there was enough evidence to put Majithia behind bars.

Shergill, who is also AAP state legal cell head, said AAP has always been vociferously speaking about the strong connections of Majithia with the drug suppliers and this photograph is evidence to prove this fact.

He said while the other accused, Bittu Aulakh, had already admitted in his statement before the Enforcement Directorate that Majithia introduced Satta to Jagjit Chahal for supplying pseudoephedrine, a synthetic drug and other raw material to him. However, Majithia has been denying the charges.

Shergill said these photographs have blown the lid off and exposed the involvement of Majithia in the drug trade. Reading out the report of the ED, Shergill stated that Satta also acted as Majithia’s election agent in 2007 and stayed in his house.

While challenging Majithia to give up his security cover and surrender his passport, Shergill said Majithia was scared to move about in the public without the security cover because he was well aware of his misdeeds and was aware of the fury among the public for his contribution in ruining the lives of several youngsters of Punjab by patronising the drug trade in the State in general, and in the border belt in particular.

Taking a jibe a Capt Amarinder Singh, Shergill said Amarinder protected Bikram from the CBI probe due to family relations and also did not utter a single word against him during the recent Congress rally in Majitha.

Among others, AAP leaders Upkar Singh Sandhu, Dr Inderbir Singh Nijjer, media in charge (Majha Zone), and Gurbhej Singh Sandhu were also present.
