Senior Shiromani Akali Dal leaders Sukhbir and Harsimrat Kaur Badal strongly condemned the AAP government over Vigilance Bureau raids on Bikram Singh Majithia’s residence, calling it political vendetta.
Sukhbir Singh Badal on his X handle said, "Shiromani Akali Dal stands steadfast with Bikram Singh Majithia. It is clear that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party have been unnerved by the resolute manner in which Majithia has taken on the government and exposed its corrupt and amoral acts. We will not be cowed down by the brutal attempts to suppress the voice of the people expressed by Majithia and other Akali leaders by letting loose State agencies against them.”
He further added, “This is not the first time that political vendetta has been unleashed against the Akali leadership. WE WILL TAKE IT HEAD ON. Registering false cases is a criminal act. Officers should know that inquiries into all such false cases and acts of suppression committed during this government’s tenure will surely be conducted at the appropriate time. I urge the police personnel not to break the law, as the change of guard is just one and a half year away.”
MP from Bathinda Harsimrat Kaur Badal has also strongly condemned Bhagwant Mann government. She shared on her X handle, “"Today, the way puppet Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has sent his police to my younger brother Bikram Singh Majithia’s house to suppress the voice of truth, it reminds us of the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi on this very day, June 25, 1975."
“Just like Indira Gandhi tried to silence the voice of the opposition, Bhagwant Mann is attempting the same today. But he should remember—our family has never bowed down to any government’s pressure in the past, and we won’t now either. No matter how hard you try, you cannot silence the truth. We will continue to expose your misdeeds and those of your government before the public," she further aaded.
"And remember this—we won’t let you flee the country after 2027. You will be held accountable for your actions right here," she said.
Union Minister of State Ravneet Bittu said “Bhagwant Mann's abuse of vigilance shows evidence of very light politics. What the Congress did by imposing emergency, Bhagwant Mann has done the same thing in Punjab. Any leader who raises questions about Mann or the government's failure, is tried to be silenced by threatening and threatening him.”
Reacting to the Vigilance raid conducted the Majithia’s house, former MP Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra also flayed the state government. He said “This action has been taken under political vendetta and the way the Vigilance officers have behaved is condemnable.”
Congress leader and MLA Sukhpal Khaira also came out in support of Majithia following a raid by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau at Majithia’s residence in Amritsar.
In a video shared on his official Facebook page, Khaira slammed the raid on Majithia, calling it a clear case of political vendetta. He expressed serious concern over the growing misuse of power in the state, saying, “I strongly condemn the raid on Bikram Majithia. It’s nothing but political vendetta. Punjab is fast turning into a police state.”
