CHANDIGARH:Chief Spokesperson of Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanukt) and former Finance Minister, S. Parminder Singh Dhindsa has demanded immediate removal of AAP Cabinet Minister Fauja Singh Sarari after an audio clip of a conversation between Fauja Singh Sarari and his OSD went viral on various social media platform in which both can be heard discussing a plan to extort money.
In a statement issued here today, S. Parminder Singh Dhindsa said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should immediately order an impartial investigation regarding the alleged extortion tape between the Cabinet Minister and his OSD.
On ethical grounds, Fauja Singh Sarari should himself give his resignation from Cabinet and if he doesn't resign then Bhagwant Maan should ensure Fauja Singh Sarari submits his resignation at the earliest, said S. Dhindsa.
He said that on the one hand, the Aam Aadmi Party government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is claiming to be purely honest, while on the other, his Ministers and MLAs are constantly getting involved in corruption and other controversies. How are the people of Punjab going to trust the claims of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann? questioned S. Dhindsa.
He said that it is imperative to check the authenticity of this audio clip and conduct a thorough investigation of the issue. Therefore, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should personally order the investigation of this audio clip.
