Gidderbaha(Muktsar), May 24
Lamenting the alleged callous attitude of the police and poll observers towards the complaints lodged against the “rigging” in Zila Parishad and Block Samiti polls, the District Congress Committee, Muktsar, has announced to hold a protest march throughout the district on May 28. The march would be carried out from Lambi to Muktsar, covering Malout and Gidderbaha.
The Congress leaders have been reportedly indulged in collecting proofs to submit them to the state Governor and for the purpose they have sought appointment from the latter.
Accusing the ruling SAD of high-handedness in the connivance of the district police and poll staff, Sant Singh Brar, member of the PPCC, said that on the day of elections, a poll observer visited the polling station at Madhir, where the ‘rigging’ was going on. But nothing had been done in that regard yet.
The Congress leaders also levelled allegation of fake and forcible withdrawal of the nominations forms of Congress-backed candidates for the forthcoming Gram Panchayat polls.
Ex-MLA from Gidderbaha, Raghubir Singh, alleged, “The ruling party had adopted every tactic to reject the nomination forms. Even the NOC for “Chulla Tax”, which was nowhere mentioned in the SEC guidelines, was made compulsory. On the basis of this, the forms of a number of our supporters were rejected.”
The leaders said the “misdeeds” of officers would be complained with complete documentary evidences.
When contacted, SAD-chief Sukhbir Badal said, “Congress leaders are not accepting the public verdict. They are still under a state of shock for losing almost all seats in Zila Parishad and Block Samiti polls throughout the state.”
