Shiromani Akali Dal leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Tuesday filed a complaint with the National Commission for Women in Delhi against Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his wife, accusing them of protecting a rape accused and demanding a CBI probe.
Harsimrat Badal claimed that Punjab’s situation under the Aam Aadmi Party government has deteriorated over the past five years.
“I have been assured of all help from the NCW. She claimed that five women pleaded for justice against a rape accused. Harsimrat Badal claimed that Punjab’s situation under the Aam Aadmi Party government has deteriorated over the past five years. This money has only been looted, and the extent of the loot is such that it was already known that the Chief Minister’s residence had become a hub of drugs. “The ED has repeatedly sent notices alleging that the Chief Minister’s OSD and his close associates were taking money for transfers, postings, CLU and everything else. When raids are conducted at their homes, bags of cash are thrown down from the ninth floor.
“After piling up debt of Rs 5 lakh crore, there is no visible asset anywhere, nor has any section of society received any relief. When raids are conducted at the homes of their favourite DIGs, Rs 8 crore each are recovered from their residences…”, she alleged.
I hope and pray that this grave matter reaches its rightful solution and together, all of us do our bit to give justice to our ‘Maavan – Dheeyan’,” Badal said in a post on X. “Instead of protecting them, the Punjab government threatened and harassed the victims, forcing them to take back their complaints, and then went on to give a ‘free passage’ to the rapist to escape!” she alleged. “Punjab is angry, and yet forget a probe, even an FIR has not been registered…,” she said.
