Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) general secretary Bikram Singh Majithia on Sunday targeted Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and accused him of lying about gangster Goldy Brar's detention by US agencies. Stating that more than 48 hours have passed since the Chief Minister made this claim, Majithia tweeted that no photo or video of detaining Goldy has emerged in public so far.
“Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann should tell Punjabis why he lied about detaining of gangster Goldy Brar by US agencies and his claim of bringing him to Pb soon. More than 48 hours have passed since he made this claim, but no photo or video of detaining Goldy has emerged in public so far,” Majithia tweeted.
“CM clarify how he got into that Goldy Brar has been detained in the USA. Whether HM Amit Shah had informed him, whether US President Joe Biden or other US authorities or directly FBI reported to him on the issue or what else his sources informed him so,” Majithia added.
“Ironically, DGP Punjab Police and Central Agencies are refraining from substantiating this claim of CM. It seems this claim was in line with other false claims he made in past, like BMW investing in Pb. But he must realise that this bluff has given much pain to the victims’ families,” he further stated.
Punjab Chief Minister last week said the prime accused Goldy Brar in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder has been detained in the USA.
Goldy Brar had allegedly coordinated with gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and others to murder Sidhu Moose Wala earlier this year.
Balkaur Singh, the father of late singer Sidhu Moose Wala, recently announced a reward of Rs 2 crore from his own pocket for anyone handing over gangster Goldy Brar to him.
On Saturday, Punjab tourism minister Anmol Gagan Maan informed Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar would soon be brought back to India, reported news agency ANI. Speaking at Military Literature Festival, Maan said, “Brar will be brought back to India soon.”
