Mukhtar Ansari
Chandigarh, January 11
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today slammed the Capt Amarinder Singh government for allegedly patronising gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari to help him evade appearance in courts in UP where he is facing murder charges.
Reacting to reports that the Punjab jail authorities refused to hand him over to the UP Police on the pretext of health issues, Chugh said by protecting a murder accused, the government was soaking its hands in blood.
Chugh asked the CM why he was trying to save the notorious criminal. Ansari, sitting BSP MLA from Mau, is presently lodged in a Punjab jail in connection with an extortion case. — TNS
