Former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal lashed out at the government. “We knew it very well. The government changed 3 DGPs (Directors General of Police) only to register a case against Badals and Majithia. I am ready to court arrest. They can come and arrest me,” he said.
Recently, a senior officer had refused to register a case against Mr Majithia and had gone on medical leave.
The Akali Dal leader, who has not yet commented on the FIR, has denied all allegations against him and said they are politically motivated.
He even scored an apology from Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party boss Arvind Kejriwal in 2018 after a defamation suit over similar accusations, following the previous state elections when the drug case was in the spotlight last.
Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal too has come out strongly in defence of Mr Majithia in the past.
Last month, Mr Badal accused Mr Sidhu of resorting to “extra-constitutional” measures by directing the state government to register a false case against Mr Majithia.
