Chandigarh, December 29
Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Punjab affairs co-incharge Raghav Chadha on Wednesday said his party, if voted to power, would ensure that the Punjab Police functioned independently and that political interference was stopped.
Addressing the media here, Chadha also attacked Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu for his remarks allegedly defaming the police and dubbed it “shameful”. He also dared Sidhu to give up his security cover.
He raised the issue of “long hours and minimum allowances” of Punjab Police personnel. Chadha alleged that Sidhu and Congress leaders treated the police personnel as an “ornamental instrument”. He said the family members of about 70,000 police officials in the state were “feeling defamed, insulted and demoralised” due to Sidhu’s remark. Meanwhile, AAP will organise a ‘peace march’ in Patiala on December 31. Party convener Arvind Kejriwal urged people to join the event in maximum numbers. — TNS
