Chandigarh, Jan 30 (UNI) The Punjab government on Tuesday dismissed as totally baseless, fabricated and malicious the allegations of Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira against Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh in the matter of land purchase in Siswan Village area of Mohali.
Lashing out at Khaira for spreading mischievous and deceitful propaganda on the issue, the Chief Minister’s Media Advisor Raveen Thukral on Tuesday disclosed that the land purchased by Captain Amarinder was not in Palanpura, as was being projected, but in Siswan, which had been denotified by the erstwhile SAD-BJP government under the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA) way back in 2011.
Thukral pointed out that the plot stopped being covered under PLPA since it was denotified on Aug 24, 2011, by then Financial Commissioner and Secretary to Govt.
of Punjab, Department of Forests & Wildlife Preservation.
Khaira should have done his homework and got his facts right before resorting to wild allegations, said Thukral.
