Former Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar has categorically dismissed rumours of his return to the Congress, saying that his doors to the party are completely closed.
The politician launched a sharp attack on Congress leaders Partap Singh Bajwa and Pargat Singh over their earlier remarks on the appointment of the Punjab Congress president.
Jakhar questioned Bajwa and Pargat Singh over their claim that they had approached Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and sought the appointment of a party president who would not fear the Enforcement Directorate (ED) or the Punjab Vigilance Bureau. He asked what happened to the demand that these Congress leaders had reportedly placed before Rahul Gandhi. He asked whether the party had acted on their demand and whether the leadership chosen for Punjab aligned with what they sought. He also raised questions about the existing Congress leadership and asked what would happen to those currently occupying key positions if he were to return. He referred to former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh as well, saying that the answer to that political equation could only be given by Captain himself.
Jakhar said he could not return to a place where, according to him, people were “deeply involved in corruption”.
