CHANDIGARH: PPCC chief Sunil Jakhar today trashed the rumours of vigilance probe against party leaders and asserted there was no truth in it at the grassroots level.
Describing the party MLA and veteran sports star Pargat Singh as the role model of the youth, he said that the party respects his sentiments. The main agenda of the party at present was to save the people from Covid resurge and to punish the perpetrators of sacrilege incidents that happened in the previous govt regime, he added.
Jakhar said that the Congress party never indulged in vendetta politics . It was the principle of the party to not use the constitutional institutions for personal interests or to settle scores and it was unthinkable to do so against its own MLA. In fact there was no truth in these rumors as Captain Sandeep Sandhu himself had made it clear that he never made any threatening phone call to Pargat Singh.
The state Congress president said that in such a situation he would like to appeal to Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh to investigate such propaganda that was tarnishing the image of the party. “Sports star and MLA Pargat Singh was the role model of the youth and no one doubted his image as an honest and upright man and the party respected all its MLAs, Jakhar said.
He said that the party stands with its people in the current pandemic crisis and its aim was to work with the government collectively to help the affected people and besides bringing the sacrilege incident culprits to book by completing the probe timely.
Pradesh Congress president said that mischievously cooked rumors were being spread to divert attention from these two issues but there was no truth in the talks on vigilance probe against the Congress leaders. Nothing like that was being done or would be done by the government
