Chandigarh, May 1
Minister Lalchand Kataruchak has termed the allegations of Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira as baseless and false. He said that my son has never been my official phone attendant. There is no truth to Khaira’s words.
Minister Kataruchak said that for the last 11 months my official phone attendant is Sandeep Kumar. His father’s name is Shiv Lal. He is a resident of Sharna village of our assembly constituency Bhoa. And my cook’s name is Lekh Ram Sunar. His father’s name is Maun Singh. He is a resident of Dinanagar in Gurdaspur district.
He said that Sukhpal Khaira is making false allegations against me by taking the name of my son with the intention of defaming me. I have never misused my position for the benefit of my family.
He said that Khaira’s main job is to remain in the media by creating sensationalism and take political mileage out of it. I appeal to the people of Punjab not to take his words seriously. Sukhpal Khaira and Congress leaders have a problem with how people from poor families became cabinet ministers and MLAs. These leaders are unable to make peace with it so they’re telling such lies out of spite.
