Chandigarh: Former minister Bikram Singh Majithia on Tuesday while thanking the almighty and lakhs of Punjabis who prayed for his well being besides the judicial system and politicians across political lines including Congress ministers who believed he had been wronged, said “it is now crystal clear that I was targeted as part of a vendetta exercise by the Congress government and its top leadership”.
Majithia was addressing the media with regard to the grant of interim bail and stay on his arrest by the Punjab and Haryana high court yesterday.
The former minister, who also thanked his lawyers as well as the people of Majithia constituency and those from the Majha region besides SAD and YAD party workers, said “truth has won despite a clear cut conspiracy by the Congress government to use threats and allurements to implicate me in a false case”. He also thanked a State police chief, senior superintendent of police and several other police officers who refused to accede to the unlawful demands of chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi and chose to leave their posts rather than obey the illegal orders of the government.
He said the chief minister and home minister Sukhjinder Randhawa held meetings on a daily basis to frame him in a false case. “The government even ran away from the PIL being heard on the issue of drug menace in the region to file a false case against me which was done on the orders of DGP S Chattopadhyay who was brought in especially for this purpose”.
