Fateh kits case: Punjab Govt indulging in ‘loot of public money’, alleges AAP

Mohali, June 8

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) here today accused Capt Amarinder Singh-led Punjab Government of indulging in “loot of public money”. The AAP alleged that the government purchased 50,000 Fateh kits, having a market price of Rs837 each, at Rs1,338.

AAP district president Govinder Mittal said the state government “created a record in scams during the pandemic times”. After the vaccination scam, the Fateh kit scam has surfaced, he said.

Mittal alleged that the state government purchased the kits from a company which was not possessing any medical license.

“The state government is now registering cases against the people who are raising their voice against the scams,” he added.

AAP district secretary Prabhjot Kaur said instead of taking action against the persons involved in the vaccine scam, the government was booking their workers for raising their voice against the corruption. “Instead of taking action against the tainted ministers, Capt Amarinder Singh is trying to suppress the voice of the people by registering cases against them,” said Kaur.

SAD flays Cong govt

SAD’s Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma on Tuesday said the FIR registered against the party leaders and 200 workers for staging a protest outside the residence of Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu in Mohali was an attempt to “muzzle the voice of the opposition”.
