Chandigarh, November 23, 2017: Punjab BJP on Thursday alleged that AAP Punjab leaders were rallying behind UK citizen Jagtar Singh Johal arrested in connection with cases related to target killing of twelve innocent Punjabis, without verifying the facts from investigating agency.
Terming AAP’s support as disgracing, Punjab BJP vice-president Harjit Singh Grewal and Punjab BJP secretary Vineet Joshi said alleged that it seemed AAP was supporting Johal just for the sake of NRI funding. "AAP is least worried about the impact of their actions on the peace and harmony of Punjab. The way its leaders are rallying for Johal on their Facebook accounts and pointing fingers at the police investigation, it is evident that they are fulfilling the agenda of ISI to throw Punjab back into the dark days of terrorism,” they alleged.
Seeking answers from the AAP leadership, the BJP leaders said that AAP MLA Kanwar Sandhu and MP Bhagwant Mann should reveal as to how did they procure the facts related to Johal from Punjab police and also when they met Johal. Without listening to the investigating agency, these two reached on a conclusion that Johal had been wrongfully confined, they added.
