Congress asks Majithia to face CBI probe, not to befool people by
false vows Chandigarh, January 18-Punjab Congress today rejected the
offer of Revenue Minister Mr. Bikram Singh Majithia to vow before Guru
Granth Sahib to probe his innocence in drug case and asked him to face
the CBI inquiry into drug charges if he is so confident about his
conduct.

Mr. Fateh Jung Singh Bajwa General Secretary Punjab Pradesh
Congress Committee (PPCC) in a statement said that Mr. Majithia was
behaving like a petty thief by giving promise that he would prove his
innocent in Gurdwara.

He said that Mr. Majithia should feel ashamed
that he was trying to involve religious seat to escape himself from
criminal charges of patronizing Rs. 6000 drug racket.

Mr. Fateh Bajwa
said that Mr. Majithia was going on the footsteps of Muslim emperor
Aurangzeb who made a false pledge and cheated the Sikh Gurus. He said
that people had no faith on promise of Majithia’s pledge in Gurdwara.
He said that every criminal claims himself innocent unless a fare
probe nails him. He said that Mr. Majithia had used government
machinery and his powers to divert the drug case into political
controversy. Mr. Fateh Bajwa said that Majithia family was not trust
worthy as the history of this family was stained with blots of helping
General Reginald Dyer responsible for massacre of thousands of
innocent people in Jallianwala Bagh of Amritsar.

Majithia family had
hosted the dinner for General Dyer on the night of massacre and role
of Ranjodh Singh Majithia during 1846 Anglo-Sikh war was against the
Sikh community. Mr. Fateh Bajwa said that Jagdish Bhola main accused
in drug racket had named Mr. Majithia and many other accused were also
arrested on the basis of confessions made by Bhola. He said that even
if several Indian agencies were involved in the investigation of drug
racket, many accused are based in foreign countries. Only CBI can
handle the case being nodal agency of Interpol. He said that Punjab
Police prevented Enforcement Directorate to take Bhola on production
warrants by sending him into police custody in another case of murder
of ASI. He said that Mr. Najithia would not be able to escape the long
arm of law.
