AAP gives ultimatum to Cong. govt. to remove Deol

28th September 2021 at 6:02 PM

Conspiracy to save Guru's culprits to make APS Deol A G: Harpal Singh Cheema

Slammed CM Channi on Deol's appointment

Chandigarh: 28th September 2021: (Punjab Screen Bureau)::

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema expressed strong objection and disappointment over the newly appointed Advocate General of Punjab Amar Preet Singh Deol (APS Deol), stating that it was not expected from the new Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, that his real face will be exposed so early. He said to save the former DGP Sumedh Saini and the Badal family in sensitive cases; Channi has gone two steps ahead of former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.

Cheema appealed to the Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi to rectify this blunder immediately stating that APS Deol should be removed immediately from the post of AG. He also warned that if the Channi government did not remove APS Deol from the office within 10 days, the Aam Aadmi Party would wage a decisive struggle against the government as it was a conspiracy to save the Guru's culprits.

Addressing a press conference with party MLAs Kultar Singh Sandhwan, Amarjit Singh Sandoa, state general secretary Harchand Singh Barsat, spokespersons Malvinder Singh Kang and Manwinder Singh Giaspura at the party headquarters here on Tuesday, Harpal Singh Cheema showed the documents of Deol's prosecution as a senior counsel for former DGP Sumedh Saini in the Behbal Kalan and Kotkapura firing cases related to desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. He said that not only Saini, but APS Deol was also fighting the cases of other accused. Then what justice can be expected in the sensitive cases being fought by the Punjab government under APS Deol's leadership, questioned Cheema.

Harpal Singh Cheema said for the first four-and-a-half-years, Advocate General Atul Nanda appointed by Capt Amarinder Singh, in collusion with the Badal family and Sumedh Saini had not get justice in Behbal Kalan and Bargari cases and now Channi, by going to great lengths has appointed Sumedh Saini's lawyer as Advocate General. “This is the result of a deliberate conspiracy. It is as if the Badals and Saini have taken over the entire government machinery. As a result, Channi has followed in Captain's footsteps,” he said.

The AAP leader said it was not expected from the new Chief Minister. “Justice for Bargari and Behbal Kalan was expected, but the Channi government's decision on APS Deol shattered the hopes,” he added. Cheema said the people who have been accused by Justice Ranjit Singh and Justice Zora Singh for desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Behbal Kalan-Kotkapura firing; how can the government even consider appointing a lawyer for those accused as its Advocate General?

He said legal ethics also does not allow a lawyer who is first fighting the case on behalf of the accused, to be able to fight against the accused on behalf of the government. Cheema alleged that Deol's appointment was a conspiracy to save the accused, which could not be tolerated. He said that all the Aam Aadmi Party MLAs were also writing letters to the Chief Minister in this regard.

"These forces have turned patriotism into narrow nationalism"

Hidden agenda behind "nationalism" was exposed in the seminar

Ludhiana: 18 March 2017: (Pardeep Sharma IPTA//Punjab Screen)::

The forces in power who sided with the British during freedom struggle are now completely distorting the ideals for which great martyrs of our country laid down their lives. This was said by Prof. Jagmohan Singh while addressing a seminar organized by the Communist Party of India today under the presidentship of Com Charan Sarabha and Com Gurnam Gill at Shaheed Karnail Singh Isru Bhawan Ludhiana to commemorate and pay homage to the 87th martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev. These forces have turned patriotism into narrow nationalism and are constantly working on the theory of Hitler to purge the minorities and all those who disagree with them. Killing of Dabolkar, Pansare, and Kulbargi are glaring examples of this. In addition killing of Akhlaq and merciless beating of Dalits in Una are some things unimagined by the martyrs who dreamt of a secular democratic India with socio-economic justice to all. When the people from all sections, classes including youth, women, workers and peasants of the whole country were up in arms against the British, the RSS and its outfits were eulogizing their masters. It is pertinent to mention here that their ideologue Golvalkar had called upon Hindus not waste energy against the British but to save it to fight against the Muslims, Christians and the Communists. It is an irony that Godse who killed Gandhi is being projected as a great person and even temples are being made in his memory. Savarkar, the only person whom they glorify for his going to Andaman Jail, had begged mercy from the British to release him so that he could work in unison with them, said Prof Jagmohan Singh. It is well known that Savarkar had given the theory of Hindus and Muslims as two separate nations, which had laid the basis of the partition of the country. Since peoples from all communities fought for the freedom of the country, the communal forces lost badly in the elections immediately after independence. But the capitalist mode of development was fraught with problems of inequality and injustice. A time came when the privy purses were abolished and banks and coal mines were nationalized. But all such pro-people steps were opposed by the RSS and its outfits. Addressing the meeting Com Kartar Singh Bowani, District Secretary of the Party said that these reactionary forces are working on the lines of Hitler who was built by the then corporate. Similarly, the present corporate is building Modi as a messiah for all ills. Dr. Arun Mitra, Asstt.Secretary said that the forces of Hindutva are speaking lies on the lines of Goebbels, the propaganda secretary of Hitler. Their lies are getting exposed. Despite all their efforts, they have not been able to include the name of Kanhaiya in the events at JNU. But the hounding of Gurmehar, daughter of a great martyr of this country, is a very serious matter which has to be condemned.   But India is not Germany. We have immense diversity which will save our country. Our people have an anti-imperialist history and history of assimilation. Com D P Mur Asstt. Secretary district unit cautioned that it is unfortunate that in spite of opposition by the secular and nationalist forces, the reactionary forces, under the leadership of Narinder Modi has come to power by managing the system. The examples of Goa and Manipur are clear cut defiance of the verdict given by the people. False slogans cannot solve the problems.  For more Pics Please Click Here

They will defeat such forces. City secretary of the CPI Com Ramesh Rattan said that there is a need for a broad consensus and constant movement to defeat these communal, obscurantist and parochial forces to save the Indian nation.

A book was written by Kanhaiya Kumar FROM BIHAR TO TIHAR was released on the occasion. For more Pics Please Click Here
