Chandigarh/Jalandhar, April 29
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that the daughters of our country are not safe in the BJP rule. Expressing the great concern over the BJP’s ignorance and the silence of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Punjab’s sports minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said that it is a matter of shame that our Olympic and commonwealth games medal winners have to stage a dharna to get an FIR registered against a BJP MP for sexual exploitation.
Addressing a press conference here, on Saturday, with AAP Punjab chief spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang, Jalandhar improvement trust Chairman Jagtar Singh Sanghera and AAP leader and former hockey player Surinder Singh Sodhi, Meet Hayer said that the Bharatiya Janata party and Modi are shameless but we as Indians are ashamed. Today the whole world is watching how our international players have to stage a dharna to get justice and they have to knock on the doors of the Supreme Court to file an FIR against BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
AAP leader said that this is nothing new in the BJP rule. Our daughters are not safe. BJP patronage gangsters and criminals. They fielded a person who had 40 cases registered against him. Not only that they made him the president of a sports Federation. Nothing could be more wrong and insensitive. He said that Modi remained silent on the matters of Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya, Adani, demonetization and many more but these players are sitting just 4 kms from his residence and asking for justice, PM Narendra Modi must speak and take action.
Lambasting the BJP, Hayer said that we are expecting justice and sensitivity from a political party who protected people like Kuldeep Sengar who is convicted of rape and murder. But this is the ideology of the BJP, this is all they know, patronizing rapists, murderers and criminals. He asked how parents will allow their children to participate in sports after seeing that even Olympians are not safe here.
AAP leader Meet Hayer demanded that Brij Bhushan Singh should be sacked, expelled from BJP and arrested. He asked the central government to listen to our players and fulfill their demands. He said that Asian games and Olympics are approaching, these players should be focusing on their game and practice but here they are fighting against such injustice. He said that players who brought laurels of glory to our nation are crying for justice but all the BJP and Modi care for is their vote bank. Hayer said that the whole world is watching, we are standing with these players in solidarity and we will fight for them.
