Mohali, December 24

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Parliament from the Patiala constituency, Dr Dharamvir Gandhi, today criticised the attack on a supporter of the party for unearthing an alleged scam related to EWS houses.

Notably, local RTI activist and AAP supporter Satnam Singh, a resident of Daun village,was attacked by some miscreants at Phase I two days ago.

Satnam made a complaint against a builder recently for selling him a flat meant for the EWS category.

Dr Gandhi claimed that the matter came to light when he (Satnam) bought a flat from the private builder. “When he sought information through RTI regarding his flat, he came to know that it was meant for the EWS category,” Dr Gandhi added.

He claimed that when Satnam raised his voice in this regard, he was attacked by the builders’ lobby here.

Dr Gandhi, who claimed that it was a scam worth several crores, demanded an inquiry and action in the matter.
