Chandigarh, May 7
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab strongly criticized BJP for protecting a habitual offender and said that yesterday’s tussle among Punjab, Haryana and Delhi police exposed BJP in front of the entire country for patronaging hate mongers and anti-social elements like Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga. In a press conference at party headquarters on Saturday, AAP Punjab chief spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party said that protecting a habitual offender, who since 2011 is doing nothing but inciting riots and spreading hate, is very shameful.
Kang pointed out that Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga is facing many charges in different states of the country for his hate speech, inciting riots and hurting religious sentiments of the people. He said that whenever Bagga speaks, he only promotes hate and riots and here in Punjab also FIR has been lodged against him for his comments during assembly elections to create communal tension. Punjab Police acted according to law and followed proper procedure in case of Tajinder Bagga and even sent 5 notices before going to his house to arrest him.
He said that Delhi and Haryana police acted on the behest of Home Minister Amit Shah who sided with the ‘troublemaker’ and given their history it didn’t even came as surprise. Punjab Police officer who went to inform local police was also detained at Janakpuri police station in Delhi. Then, Khattar government and Haryana Police too unconstitutionally interfered in the working of Punjab Police. Kang said that the most baffling thing about this incident is that Congress is siding with same Tajinder Bagga who addressed their National President Sonia Gandhi as ‘bar dancer’. It only proves that Congress and BJP are just two sides of the same coin.
Kang said that BJP have no respect for the law of our country and their actions are continuously flouting the constitution of Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. AAP leader said that they have filed a petition in the hon’ble High Court to interfere immediately in the matter and teach BJP a lesson.
