Majithia has accused the Bhagwant Mann government of harassing him for speaking on issues concerning the people of the state.
“I had stated long ago that when the Bhagwant Mann government failed to find anything against me in the false drug case, they would eventually prepare another fabricated case. Today, a team led by the Vigilance SSP conducted a raid at my residence. Bhagwant Mann, understand this clearly — no matter how many FIRs you file, I will neither be intimidated nor will your government be able to silence my voice,” he said, adding that he will continue to speak on issues concerning Punjab. “I have complete faith in Akal Purakh and Guru Sahib. In the end, truth will prevail,” he stated on a social media post.
Meanwhile, Majithia’s wife Ganieve Kaur, who is also the Majitha MLA, accused the Vigilance officials of forcibly entering her house. “Around 30 people entered our house this morning. They pushed us and entered without our consent. This is our home. No official has the right to stop anyone (media persons) from entering or leaving,” she told reporters.
