Won’t forget, won't forgive: Warring on summons to Ashu
Says, AAP shows signs of defeat, frustration
Says, at least 50 DSPs, 35 SPs and others deserve to be dismissed
Ludhiana, June 6, 2025: Taking a strong exception to the vigilance bureau summoning the party candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu in the midst of his election campaign, Punjab Congress president and local MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today said that the party will neither forget nor forgive any sins of omission and commission being committed by this government.
Addressing a specially convened press conference here today, Warring said, summoning Ashu at this stage only reveals that the AAP has admitted its defeat and is now acting in sheer frustration. “The cat is out of the bag as both Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann are feeling desperate and frustrated about the imminent fact that they are losing the elections”, he observed.
Condemning the summons issued to Ashu, he asked, why did the vigilance need to issue these in the midst of the campaign and why they could not wait till the elections?
He said, earlier also cases have been registered against the workers and councillors just to threaten and intimidate them so that they do not campaign for the party candidate. But, he asserted, the Congressmen will neither be scared nor be intimidated.
IN a clear and categorical message to some officers who are dancing like puppets to the tunes of the AAP, he warned them that their time is already running out as it is a matter of about a year more when they will be held accountable. “We will neither forget, nor shall we forgive or spare you”, he told them.
The PCC president reiterated his stand that Punjab needs comprehensive police reforms to fix accountability and curtail their unbridled powers. He said a commission will be set up to verify the cases and the fake FIRs will be cancelled immediately. And the officers who will be found to have registered those fake FIRs will be dismissed instantly.
He referred to the custodial killing of a youth in Bhucho Mandi in Bathinda. He said the young man had been detained and brutally killed and the police had registered a soft case against the guilty cops so that they get easily bailed out. He said, this is unacceptable and this has to change, while the guilty have to be punished.
Warring declared that there are about 50 DSPs, about 35 SPs and a few more officers in Punjab who deserve to be dismissed immediately, while suggesting that the commission that would be set up once the Congress forms the government will identify all such officers so that they are dismissed.
Among those present on the occasion included former MLAs Jassi Khangura, Surinder Dawer, Kuldeep Vaid, Sanjay Talwar, Balwinder Bains, Simarjit Bains and others.
