Fatehgarh Sahib. August.23.
The leaders of SAD(B) and BJP have strongly condemned the move of the State Govt. to the remove Sher Singh President of Municipal Council Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib from his post by levelling false and baseless allegations. They termed it as a political vendetta and day light murder of democracy and alleged that the local MLA got him remove from his post due to political enmity as he belongs to SAD(B) by using his influence on bureaucracy.
Addressing the media persons here today Didar Singh Bhatti Halka incharge for SAD(B) and Jathedar Swarn Singh Chanarthal District President SAD(B) said that the party will file a petition in High court against the orders. They said that Congress had not the proper numbers to pass no confidence against the President and MLA tried best to win over the SAD(B) councillors as he could not succeed, he adopted the mean method and got him removed by using his clout. They said they will not tolerate the high handedness of the MLA as he also got rejected the papers of SAD(B) BJP candidates in Zila Parishad, Panchyats and block Samiti elections.
Karnail Singh Panjoli SGPC member said if the local Congress MLA Kuljit Nagra has no hand he should lead the delegation to meet the CM against the Principal Secretary of Local Govt. to get him suspended by misusing his rights.
It is worth mentioning that Municipal Council has 21 councillors including MLA Congress has12 and SAD(B) BJP 9, Congress required 14 members to remove president but with in span of two and half year they could not manage two councillors but now the Govt. has removed him on complaint basis.
Interestingly the cold war between the council president and Congress councillors had been going on since the Congress Govt. was formed and not even a single development work was initiated in the town due to tussle and the town is stinking heaps of garbage, broken roads, streets, sewer water can be seen in every nook and corner.
