Chandigarh : Punjab Youth Congress president Vikramjit Chaudhary today announced it would gherao the residence of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on June 5 to protest against the failure of the state government to arrest the killers of Congress activist Sukhraj Singh.
A block samiti poll nominee, Sukhraj was killed in the run-up to the elections in Patti area of Tarn Taran.
Addressing mediapersons here, Chaudhary said the SAD had allegedly unleashed a reign of terror throughout the state, particularly in Lambi, Majithia, Bathinda and Patti, their family domain. He said the notice issued to the Punjab Government following a plaint filed by the Youth Congress in the case in the High Court had "exposed the claims of Badal's son-in-law Adeish Partap Kairon that he had no connection with the main culprit".
Chaudhary also hit out at the government for "launching a campaign to defame the victim and the party to which he belonged". He alleged Director General of Police Sumedh Singh Saini had played a partisan role in the case.
