In a classic case of a lawmaker turning a lawbreaker, Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar purportedly put the lives of his two security personnel at risk by getting filmed a video stunt in which the duo is seen dangling out of the SUV’s windows while the minister is standing through the sunroof.
Bhullar may be in for trouble as his sunroof car antics have goes viral. This is also a violation of traffic rules on the national highway.
In the undated video, he is seen waving his hand while a Punjabi song is heard in the background. He is escorted by two Punjab Police Gypsies, while a BMW follows his Ford Endeavour. While someone is making the video, they are seen passing by a field near the National Highway.
The two security personnel are sitting on windows even as two vehicles of the Bhullar’s convoy move ahead. The video appears to have been captured for some mobile app.
Meanwhile, in his defence, the Minister said the video was about three months old. He said the video has been made viral by the opposition parties to defame him.
ਸਵਾਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਘੇਰੇ ‘ਚ ਮੇਰੀ ਵੀਡੀਓ ਕਰੀਬ 3 ਮਹੀਨੇ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਇੱਕ ਜਿੱਤ ਰੈਲੀ ਦੀ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਗ਼ੈਰ-ਜ਼ਿੰਮੇਵਾਰ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਪਾਰਟੀਆਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਵਾਇਰਲ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ ਹੈ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਹ ਸਾਡੇ ਕੰਮ ਦੇਖ ਕੇ ਬੌਖਲਾਏ ਹੋਏ ਹਨ।
ਮੈਂ ਇਸ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਜ਼ਿੰਮੇਵਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨ ਦੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਨਾਗਰਿਕ ਹਾਂ। ਇਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਦਨਾਮ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਸਾਜਿਸ਼ ਹੈ!

Reacting to a video of AAP Transport Minister, Shiromani Akali Dal called him an ‘udta mantri’. SAD spokesperson Dr Daljeet Singh Cheema said AAP preached something else and practiced something else.
BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa also took a dig at the AAP Minister. Taking to twitter, he wrote that those claiming to end VIP culture were roaming with 4 Gypsies.
