SAD says SEC Commissioner expressed helplessness in taking action into Jalalabad attack case
Jalalabad attack case: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday said the State Election Commission (SEC) had utterly failed in doing its duty to protect the life and liberty of the people in the run up to the municipal elections in Punjab and should be wound up immediately.
After meeting the SEC Commissioner Jagpal Singh Sandhu, former minister Daljit Singh Cheema said the former was proving to be a burden on the State exchequer as he had openly expressed his helplessness in giving any relief against even murderous attacks on Shiromani Akali Dal workers as well as SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal.

“Jagpal Singh Sandhu had assured to seek a report on the attack on the SAD President by Congress goons when we met him yesterday. However today he told us that no report had come and that all he could do was dispatch a reminder for submission of the report,” he said.
Stating that there was no need for such a toothless Commission which was proving to be a white elephant for the State, Cheema said the State Election Commission should be wound up immediately.

“The Commissioner should also not transfer his inefficiencies on the people by wasting his time in befooling them and should put in his papers immediately,” he said.
Dr Cheema also requested Punjab Governor VP Singh Badnore to come out of the Raj Bhawan to experience the condition of the State. He said the Congress party and its goons were even challenging the Governor’s constitutional authority and he should take note of the developments in the State and take suitable action.
“No right thinking person can condone and remain silent when a Z plus protectee who has served as a Deputy chief minister and is heading a political party is subject to a murderous attack”, he added.
