Ludhiana : 21 December 2014 -
Punjab BJP Leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has demanded the resignation of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and Punjab Government Cabinet Minister Bikram Singh Majithia following his summoning by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a case related to multi crore international drug racket. Talking with the media persons here today at their residence Barewal Road, Ludhiana Grewal minced no words when he said that Bikram Singh Majithia should resign forthwith following the precedent set by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders. Grewal also reminded that BJP stalwart Shri Lal Krishan Advani resigned after his name figured in Jain Hawala Case. He said that even in Punjab Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Minister Sr. Gulzar Singh Ranike resigned when his name figured in a scam. He said that Sr. Sarwan Singh Phillaur resigned when his son's name figured in the same drug racket. Grewal stated that our party BJP leader maintained that our party BJP's stand has been consistent in this regard as the party feels that it effects the image of the government and alliance if the persons holding responsible and constitutional posts have to time and again appear before the ED in a case related to drugs and transactions related with the people involved in drug trade. Grewal said that we have been also demanding Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) CPS Avinash Chander resignation on the similar grounds. Grewal said that Bikram Singh Majithia should face the probe and if he comes clean, he can again join the cabinet. Grewal said that our party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a clear stand on drugs even nationally and Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi himself has made his Government of India stand clear on drugs in his programme "Man Ki Baat" aired by All India Radio in the whole country.
