Ridiculing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to refrain from indulging in politics of the lowest order and mudslinging, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday slammed his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal while making it clear that his meeting with the Union Home Minister Amit Shah was exclusively on one-point agenda to discuss issues related national security.
Singh said being the Home Minister of the border state, which is facing a hostile neighbour, it was his foremost responsibility to apprise the Union Government on developments in the State.And he would not hesitate to meet the Prime Minister and the Home Minister whenever issues of internal security are fanned by neighbouring hostile nations, he said.Ridiculing the allegations levelled by AAP leader as absolutely baseless, politically motivated and erroneous that he met the Union Home Minister with regard to the ED cases thrust upon his family, Captain Amarinder Singh lambasted AAP for attempting to unleash a campaign based on lies and deceit.
He clarified that there was no case filed by the Enforcement Directorate against him.There was, however, a case filed by ED against his son, S. Raninder Singh which has been going on for more than a decade that too under FEMA which at most is a civil/ fiscal matter.The High court has also stayed all the earlier incorrect Income Tax assessment orders served on his son.As a measure of desperation, the IT Department has now vindictively targeted him, along with his whole family and not even left out his minor grandchildren by sending them notices under the Prevention of Black Money Act which were also being legally dealt with, he said.
