MAJ GEN SATBIR TAKING SHIELD FOR ONSLAUGHT ON OPPOSITION VETERANS AND CALLS ANIMAL BETTER HUMANS

HONORABLE LADY WRITES TO COL MALIK THE PRESIDENT-I

Yes , Col.Malik 
, it was understood that this dirty post was from Col. Khera only, May God give him a little wisdom and bring him on to the right track,
 l think animals are much more sincere and wise than human beings.

COL MALIK PRESIDENT FJP WRITES ON WHAT APP::ABOUT FJP DONATION CAMP: President against Patron?



The greed for collection of Satbir will never end.

A well laid trap for  JCO's and OR as usual.

He has yet  to give account of previously collected amount at JM in crores.

Already he has asked all supporters to come to JM on 08 September and donate openly.

Very Sad now the motive of FJP come in forefront is collection again.

*Who's account and Bank and who are operating the account*.

Looks funny that President so called started the donation.

Must  condemn such moves of Satbir.

He has yet to pay me Rs 4800 /-  to Col Khera ,the cost of deduction after cancellation of Air ticket from Delhi  to Poona to meet  Anna Hazara last year.

Pity JCO and OR who will donate after hoax call of Satbir.

He is rich man now  hopefully he will refund my geniue amount.

THE JT SECY  FJP DECLARES SATBIR AS BABARSHER AND HONEST::: ONE HAS TO TAKE 100 BIRTHS TO BECOME SATBIR

To become another Satbir Singh, l think one has to take 100 rebirths.
  Being  a defence officer, l think there are always some ethics taught during the training, which l am sorry to say that you terribly lack those.

 1.   One should know that Maj. Gen Satbir Singh  SM Chairman IESM , Advisor UFESEM ,(JM), Chief Patron FJP, should be respected at the top priority.

2.      lf he withdraws himself today , no one has that much capability  to lead the defence  fraternity , it will  be just impossible for us to find a dynamic  Leader a  " Babbarsher" like Maj.Gen.Satbir Singh .

3.     The comments by the self praise officers, like you, are the only reason, which compelled the Veterans to sit on the roads. The govt. wouldn't have been able to trouble us without the illegal  support by the officers like you, who were bought by the govt.

  How dare you to blame an honest and dedicated General.Try to search your own soul first.It will tell you the truth.

HOW HONEST IS MAJ GEN SATBIR

Gen Satbir is raising Fauji Janta Party (fjp) wef 21/9/16 at jntr mntr. He is patron in chief & Col Malik is president. 

He plans to field 60 ESM candidates with 60 crores expdr? Badals have tasked Satbir & Navjot Sidhu to spoil AAP vote bank to help SAD/BJP win.
 Gen Satbir is facing following charges: 

1. Two court cases for fund misappropriation & mismngt of IESM.

2. Fir no 71/2016 dt 8/2/16 for fund misappropriation. 

3. On bail for this FIR. 

4. Another FIR No 153/dt 1/9/16 by CBI for funds misappropriation of Jntr Mntr collections. 

5. Contempt of court, case listed for next dt 16/12/16 at H/C Chd
6. Is he a clean person? He is disgracing/spoiling ESM name? There is a need by ESM org to file report against him imdtly to election commission. His aim is to earn only money & self projection from Pb elections & nothing for the ESM community of Pb. 






Col SS Sohi.

CLARIFICATION GIVEN TO THE RESPECTED LADY:
JT SECY FJP

With due respect to the self styled -Babarsherni-🙏



You must be knowing  your so called *Babbarsher since ages* but I know him since 2008, ie when the struggle for OROP started at JM.
All he has achieved so far is *fragmentation of IESM body* into  smithereens.  

The so called *loyalist are all Gunners & none else*, it surprises all the veterans as to how the honorable *Lady from IAF background has all the praises for this Indian Army General*.

Earlier the JM had a strong Lady like you named *Sujata*  *daughter of a famous General who came from USA and dedicated more than 4 months at JM, even she was similarly used as a shield by your Babbarsher. Soon she saw through the game and hence *was discarded like a fly from glass of milk*. Pray 4U.

There is a famous saying that " *900 चूहे खाकर बिल्ली हज़्ज को चल्ली*
*After eating  nine hundred rats , the cat proceeded to Hajj*". That's what your so called Babbar Sher is doing.

Very  soon the Babbarsher  shall be eclipsed with ur good wishes.

You are sadly mistaken that one has to undergo a cycle of *100 births to become MG  Satbir, well for ur knowledge  there are million births which get aborted despite that people with characteristics of your *DEVTA* do appear to burden the Mother Earth .

Suggest You convey all these false praises in the Court when his case comes for hearing , *we know him better than you*

He is like  *Syed Ali Shah Geelani a Hurriyat* self styled J&K leader who incites *women & children* to throw stones on army personnel and *hides behind in their skirts*. 

We veterans *respect women* and we advise you, don't disgrace yourself and act like a sycophant .
*The reason for non responding to your procative messages in whats app*. Such messages does not suit a veterans wife with male vetrans,Kindly refrain from such issues.

It is beyond comprehension as to how you came to conclusion that he is *Babarsher/Devta /honest*. Hope you know what message you
are conveying to  veterans community??

Veterans like me came and left JM because we realised, he was using us to advance his personal ambitions. You are new to his game. So tread with caution!!!

If he is brave, let him answer the questions asked to him.

Hope you know that your so called  Babbarsher was -*hiding in Capt Chanan Singh's Farm House like a गिद्दढ़* to evade his arrest
Later it was Col Khera who facilitated  meeting with Capt Amarinder at his resi on 13 August 2016. Whereas Capt only wanted to meet Col Balbir and Brig JS Sandhu.

And you brought your *बब्बर शेर driving in your car and drove  him back after lunch to your residence along with Brig JS Sandhu . Brig JS Sandhu was staying at Chandimandir from 13 Aug to  16Aug  Morning where was you Babarsher residing.

  What happened to your Babbarsher he demanded *25 seats along with financial backing* without any candidates name and constituencies. What a ridiculous proposal, he made a fool of himself.

All appointment you have mentioned are his self suffixed after his name.

Which UFESM you are referring to madam?? The one he him self distanced from?????

The IESL left him and many other supporters too as he was taking daily collection to his House without any accountability.

What to talk about donations amount he has not yet refunded my *Rs 4800/-* for the cancellation charges of airticket from Delhi to Poona to meet Anna  Hazare for 15 July
and handed him the cancellation ticket on 13 Juy 2015 at IESL office during UFESM meet.

As he was aware that lot of ESM are going to attend Anna Hazzare Rally at JM he constructed a seperate stage for Anna Hazare and organised  a RUN and B/F at JM.

He told lies to ESM from Punjab and made all sit facing new Stage and collected donations in thousands from the innocent ESM and insulted openly a National Leader like Anna Hazare but the great  person walked in hot sun to meet the fasting ESM but he did not receive him till end.

Again I tried to negotiate with him to come and meet Anna G but adament as ever did not wish Anna.nor came to meet!.

Today U  feel so much for this  egoistic man who insulted disrespected a   National Leader.

Again it was myself who convinced Anna  G and escorted  him to his stage. 

so Madam U R new to his game plans he only wants funds.

If he is *honest and have moral courage*  he cannot  deny above facts an d my positive role.

This was his first step to avoid others from asking for  fund accounts and  collections.

You call him honest.

My self was media advisor of the United UFESM then along with *Col Anil Kaul and COL Dinesh*.

Now to fool others he appoints himself as Advisor of a fragmented  group which no more exits and the real one UFESM is a  registered Body not UFESM JM. The name is ON for collection of more funds.

Yesterday Col Balbir requested me to spare you babbarsher for my onslaught about funds and FJP. But your mentor forced Brig Sandhu to remove me from Punjab 2017 WhatsApp group.

Now I am free to write and criticize and expose opposing party in Punjab elections. This is all politics now

Your writing that *animals are better than human beings*, may having associated with one, your नज़रिया underwent a change.

Can he prove that he is better than Capt Amarinder? No way Madam. It's he who has to take 100 births.

Amrinder cares for ESM community , unlike your self centred egoist Babbarsher.

No problems the message will reach you soon..

We all tried to call him To unite with ESMP and Sanjha Morcha  but he wanted all others submission and even expected Capt Amarinder to approach him  and Tell him about seats.

 What a high headed person with flying EGO.

Regards  and best of luck under Babbarsher's command.

Maj Gen Satbir Singh,SM

CAN HE COMPETE WITH CAPT AMARINDER:: 

HOW MANY CONSTITUENCIES OF PUJAB HE HAS VISITED ::THE SUPPORT FROM CIVIL POPULATION AND RECOGNITION.

What Maj Gen  Satbir is writing as a message its copy paste of Capt Amarinder leaflet and more to come

 There are 25 Points handed over to S. Manpreet Badal about ESM of Punjab Problems by Sanjha Morcha and all will be included in the Election manifesto of congress.

 Major Gen satbor has nothing to contribute except divde the ESM votes so that the Ruling Punjab Govt wins .

 It is alleged that he has received more than 60 crores to ensure candidates from FJP fight the elections and waste the votes.

Is he doing in the interest of Punjab or self potriat and agin fund collection sphere like APP.

His min motive and has been tasked by his rulers to ensure that Capt Amrinder Should not Get a Single ESM Vote and shold not come to power adn spoil the chances of APP. As the Akalis are afraid about the onslaught on them after the elections.

Its stange that Maj Gen Satbir Singh who became hero of OROP in his own style by deputing all supporters adn whoever asked the accountability of Donation at JM in crores ,today has handshake with govt with ruined Punjab Youth and all types of Mafias are prevailing in Punjab.








HOW TO FILE COMPLAIN/OBJECTION OF FJP TO ELECTION COMMISSIONER BEFORE 20 SEP 2016.
Complains can be sent to all the above  Chief election officers on the FAX or emails against FJP formation for vested individual interests and not for ESM welfare or future of any state.

Modus operandii to collect funds.

Modus operandi is to convert OROP funds held illegally into party fund which will make it legitimate. 

Also all money that comes from vested political parties will also come cash.

 You will see all donations will be shown in cash and below Rs 20000 from unknown party supporters. 

Then this money will go to private hands. 

The affidavits of all members need to be verified for their signatures authentication.

Press conf at Chandigarh on 28 Sep at chandigarh club.

The ongoing cases against Patron can be downloaded from Net and attached.

Acordingly Chandigarh press to be briefed before 28 September or any other date in case postponed.

Let the President FJP  know that veterans donot bark but act and bite too if required.

They are more faithful to the National and state cause and welfare/ Upliftment of ESM in punjab and not to a indiviual termed as Devta .
Devta so called having FIR garland around the neck for funds misuse and misappropriation donated by veterans at JM.

Take shield of respected ladies to humiliate veterans in case anyone tried to say anything against the Patron who says Animals are better than human beings.

Jai Hind






Bail plea of Maj Gen (retd) Satbir, 2 others rejected

Gurgaon, Feb 29 (PTI) A Gurgaon court today rejected anticipatory bail application of Major Gen (retd) Satbir Singh and two others in a case registered earlier this month for alleged financial bungling in the accounts of Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM), a society for jawans and their widows.
The case was registered by the Gurgaon police on direction of the magistrate following a complaint by Lt Gen (retd) Raj Kadiyan, Chairman of the society who had alleged that the officer bearers had allegedly siphoned off Rs 14 lakh from the accounts of the organisation, which was spearheading agitation for One Rank One Pension (OROP).
The Additional District and Session Judge rejected the anticipatory bail application moved by Singh, Group Capt (retd) V K Gandhi and Wing Commander (retd) C K Sharma who had moved a plea before the court on February 11.The Gurgaon police had registered a case against these three on February 8 this year following a complaint by Kadiyan that they had allegedly taken a lot of cash from the society funds between January and July 2013.
The three are office bearers in the IESM, formed in 2008. The society account is being maintained at a private bank.
Col (retd) Anil Koul said they were not happy with the judgement and would be approaching higher judiciary soon against the court order.
"We have complete faith in the judiciary and I am sure that designs of vested interests would be defeated. We will be approaching High Court for seeking legal remedy against todays order," he said. PTI SKL VMN

Lt Gen Kadyan reinstated as IESM chairman


The court of additional registrar of societies (Haryana) on Wednesday reinstated Lt Gen Raj Kadyan (retd) as chairman of the Indian Ex-servicemen Movement (IESM).

Kadyan was removed in July at the behest of other faction led by Maj Gen Satbir Singh (retd), who was vice chariman.
Satbir Singh had then taken over as chairman.
After two hours discussion and arguments on Wednesday, the procedure adopted to remove Kadyan from the IESM's chairmanship was declared unceremonious and illegal as per law of societies.
Both Kadyan and Satbir Singh were present during the hearing.
The IESM is a leading organization of ex-servicemen in the country which is fighting for one-rank-one pension for defence forces.
About five years ago, both Kadyan and Satbir Singh formed the IESM and various other ex-servicemen groups also aligned with them.
Kadyan was removed as it was alleged that he was closer to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. In an email by Brig Chander Kamboj (retd), a close confidante of Satbir Singh, to the members it was alleged, “Kadyan is playing very dirty trick of creating a divide among the officers, JCOs and Other Ranks among the ESM and families with a view to destroy their joint power to fight against injustice by the UPA Government and thus quickly reach the carrot hanging in front of him.”
Was support to Gen VK Singh behind the split?
Then in another e-mail by Group Captain VK Gandhi (retd), another confidante of Satbir Singh, to IESM members alleged that Kadyan was against IESM taking part in then Chief of Army Staff General VK Singh’s rally in Jhajjar on May 16, 2012. He alleged that it was a popular decision but he kept on issuing statements against the General.
Kadyan’s membership was quashed on July 25 this year by governing body which was termed illegal on Wednesday.
Though Kadyan could not be contacted but Maj Gen Satbir Singh said, “As for now he has been reinstated due to a technical problem. We will take further action against him.”
“This (reinstatement) may bring some relief, unity in the ex-servicemen community and some check on autocratic way of functioning. Our funds will also be now under some accounting control and on legitimate expenditures,” expressed Lt Col SS Sohi (retd), president, ex-servicemen grievance cell, who was also present during the hearing.http://www.hindustantimes.com/chandigarh/lt-gen-kadyan-reinstated-as-iesm-chairman/story-49EBmBTGRbdEUT6fpWGBtK.html

FOUNDER ALLEGES FINANCIAL 

BUNGLING BY IESM MEMBERS

Wednesday, 07 September 2016 | Souvik Mitra | New Delhi
Founder and chairman of the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) Lt General Raj Kadyan (retd) has registered a FIR with the Delhi Police against three governing body members of the ex-servicemen society for alleged financial misappropriation.
In the FIR lodged against Major General (retd) Satbir Singh, Wing Commander (retd) CK Sharma and Group Captain (retd) VK Gandhi at Parliament Street Police station of New Delhi district, Lt General Kadyan (retd) has accused them of taking donations from ex-servicemen and widows without issuing receipts and also not depositing the money in the bank account of the society, during their protest for One Rank One Pension Scheme at Jantar Mantar in June 2015.
Kadyan, who was one of the founders of the society in 2008, alleged that Satbir Singh, CK Sharma and VK Gandhi are responsible for collecting donations in the name of IESM, without any authorisation during the protest at Jantar Mantar.
He further alleged that the society maintains an HDFC account but in order to collect unaccounted funds in cash, Captain VK Gandhi had emailed him falsely claiming that the bank account was blocked by the complainant.
“This was, however, a mere pretext to collect funds in cash as I had not blocked the account in any manner whatsoever,” alleged Kadyan.
He further said that there were instances when no receipts were issued to the donors, the FIR states.
Kadyan also alleged that veteran ex-armymen emailed him complaining about the problem. “An email from veteran Bahdur Almiya clearly shows that the entire accounting if any at Jantar Mantar was a hoax intended to make wrongful gains thus bringing a bad name to the IESM society. In a similar case, another veteran Ganju has complained that the receipt given to him after he donated money does not bear any stamp which renders it useless for the purpose of claiming tax rebate. Further as is evident, from the complaint of an eighty-year-old ex-serviceman's widow, Shakuntala Devi, recorded before the police, the three accused did not issue any receipts for Rs50,000 donated by her in cash,” alleged the complainant.
Kadyan alleged that a day's collection was coming up to Rs26,20,000 in cash and Rs3,86,500 in cheque and such collections went on for weeks and months.
A meeting of the governing body of the society was held to address this issue but the three accused chose to absent themselves from the meeting which prima facie shows that they are guilty and have malafide intentions of siphoning off huge amounts donated by the sincere es-servicemen and widows, alleged Kadyan.
The complainant further said that he had sent emails to all the three accused regarding the matter and also asked them not to spend the funds without the approval of the governing body but none of his emails were returned. Kadyan then finally registered an FIR against the three at Parliament Street Police station on Tuesday under sections of cheating and criminal conspiracy on Tuesday.
When asked about the FIR, the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Romil Baniya said, “We are investigating the matter and cannot comment on the nature of investigations.”
However, none of the persons named in the FIR have been summoned by police yet, sources said

Capt justifies his opposition to Kejriwal becoming Punjab CM

Says it is a question of Punjabi pride and self-respect which won't allow any Punjabi to be ruled by any outsider
Minna/Gurminder
Tribune Reporters
Ludhiana/ Samrala, September 10

Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Capt Amarinder Singh today justified his opposition to Arvind Kejriwal becoming the Chief Minister of Punjab, saying it is the question of Punjabi pride and self respect which won’t allow any Punjabi to be ruled by any outsider.
“It is a question of Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiyat which only a Punjabi can feel and understand,” he said, while talking to reporters along the sidelines of the ‘Halke vich Captain’ programme today.
Capt Amarinder claimed that Kejriwal did not even have the basic knowledge that Amritsar and Anandpur Sahib were already officially declared ‘Holy Cities’ as he announced that his government will declare these as holy cities.
“This is encyclopaedic ignorance that is natural for someone who is alien to the history and culture of the place,” he said.
Promises galore
The PPCC president promised that all party workers, who were victimised and discriminated against by the Akalis, would get preferential treatment in his government.
Besides, all cases would be cancelled and those responsible for “false cases” would be punished, he said.
Capt Amarinder reiterated that the Congress government would waive off all loans of farmers, provide at least one job in each family, continue with atta-daal scheme and 300 units of free power to the poor and the downtrodden sections.
Prominent among those present during today’s programme included local MLA Amrik Singh Dhillon and former minister Tej Parkash Singh.
Controversy over invitations
The PPCC chief denied that any Congress leader was deliberately left out or not invited for the party function. Replying to a question that party MP Shamsher Singh Dullo had not been invited, Capt Amarinder clarified that the invitations were extended to all leaders, irrespective of their seniority.
“Moreover, Dullo is our Rajya Sabha member and it is out of question that he may not have been invited,” he said.
However, he added, no invitations were extended to anyone for the ‘Halke vich Captain’ programme.
Says Akalis have lost moral authority
Earlier interacting with people, Capt Amarinder said the Akalis had lost all moral authority to “wail and whine” over the discrimination with Punjab.
“It is the Akalis, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in particular, who have repeatedly betrayed Punjab and compromised with its interests by successive betrayals,” he said.
When Capt met an old colleague.......that too after 53 years
Balbir Singh, an ex-serviceman of the 2 Sikh regiment met Capt Amarinder Singh after 53 years. Balbir Sing served in Capt Amarinder’s platoon in 1963.
Balbir specially travelled from Machhiwara to meet Amarinder at the ‘Halke vich Captain’ programme here on Saturday. When his name was called for asking a question, he said he had no question but only a desire to meet him which had been fulfilled. Capt Amarinder called Balbir Singh, who was sitting in the audience to come to the front row from where he was taken to the stage. 
The Capt asked for a chair and made him sit with him. Balbir sat with Capt Amarinder all through the programme. Capt Amarinder said it was indeed a moment of great joy for him to meet a colleague after 53 years and that too in the best of health. When the Capt asked him if he could do anything for him, Balbir replied in a negative, saying he only prayed that he becomes the Chief Minister once again.

Halke vich Captain'

  • "It is a question of Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiyat which only a Punjabi can feel and understand. Kejriwal does not even have the basic knowledge that Amritsar and Anandpur Sahib have already been declared 'Holy Cities' officially. This is encyclopaedic ignorance that is natural for someone who is alien to the history and culture of the place."— Capt Amarinder Singh, PPCC chief

Congress ready to go it alone: Amarinder

Tribune News Service
Ropar, September 10
The Congress was ready to take on its rivals without a tie-up with any party in the state assembly elections, said Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh here today.
Talking to the media on the sidelines of his “Halke Vich Captain” programme, he said among the secular parties, the PPP had already merged with the Congress, the BSP had declared to contest all seats and the Left parties could not take any decision.
“The Congress is in a strong position and in case some party or group expresses its willingness to have alliance with us we have to see whether some seats could be spared for them,” he said.
He reiterated that he would send the Badals and Bikram Majithia behind bars if voted to power.
On Arvind Kejriwal's ongoing visit’s impact on the state politics, Amarinder said: “It has further exposed and disintegrated AAP. Kejriwal should come clean on the allegations of financial and sexual exploitation against some party leaders. In any case, we will probe and investigate the charges on coming to power,” he said.

100 Tarn Taran AAP activists resign


Our Correspondent
Tarn Taran, 10 September
More than 100 office-bearers and activists of AAP under the leadership of Iqbal Singh Bhagowalia, former in charge of Khadur Sahib, resigned en masse from the party today.
They lodged their protest by burning an effigy of party’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal. Bhagowalia alleged that the party’s Delhi leaders exploited the local volunteers. They said they would stand side by former AAP state convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur.

Politics of accusation

Shift focus to Punjab’s long-term interestsThursday saw Punjab’s political scene hot up with Navjot Singh Sidhu and Arvind Kejriwal competing for media attention. Sidhu may be aware that poetic couplets won't take him far. If he wishes to be taken seriously, he will have to present an alternative agenda for Punjab and a party to implement it. That he decided against declaring Awaaj-e-Punjab a political party shows he is still testing the waters. Building a party takes time and requires organisational skills up to the ground level. The disillusioned AAP quitters and newcomers looking for a political career may join him only if there is a credible party in place. A forum has limited appeal. Besides, Sidhu's episodic appearance may fritter away whatever goodwill he has earned. 
Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP continues to occupy centre stage more because of controversies and rivals’ criticism than anything constructive it does. Bhagwant Mann has a knack for creating trouble for himself. From Sidhu, Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Capt Amarinder Singh, Sukhbir Badal to Chief Minister Badal — all are playing AAP-centric politics. They devote more of their time and energy attacking AAP than engaging in a serious discussion on issues the state faces. They perform for the media. While BJP women heckled Kejriwal at Delhi railway station after his travel schedule was leaked, the Akali Dal and the Congress deployed their women activists for the job at Ludhiana. Certain TV channels, particularly in Punjab, have declared a war against AAP. Politics of accusation, attack and counter-attack is at play. AAP leaders are not far behind in the game. Kejriwal talks of sending this or that Akali leader to jail. Loose talk is the order of the day.
Punjabis are spread all over the world. But small-minded leaders here raise the dangerous Punjabi vs non-Punjabi issue, which is against Punjabiat and the teachings of the Gurus. One group that stays away from daily bouts of mud-slinging and personality-dominated politics is that of Patiala MP Dharamvira Gandhi. He has prepared a vision document for Punjab. Divided, all the disparate groups and opponents of the SAD-BJP regime may do what the People’s Party of Punjab did in 2012: help the Badals return to power.

ਪੰਜਾਬ ਪ੍ਰਦੇਸ਼ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਕਮੇਟੀ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਕੈਪਟਨ ਅਮਰਿੰਦਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਕੱਲਿਆਂ ਹੀ ਚੋਣ ਲੜੇਗੀ।
ਅੱਜ ਇੱਥੇ ‘ਹਲਕੇ ਵਿਚ ਕੈਪਟਨ’ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਮੌਕੇ ਪੱਤਰਕਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਵਿੱਚ ਧਰਮ ਨਿਰਪੱਖ ਤਾਕਤਾਂ ਦੇ ਗਠਜੋੜ ਦੀ ਵਕਾਲਤ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੀ ਪ੍ਰੰਤੂ ਹੁਣ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਬਦਲ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਹੈ। ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਪਾਰਟੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਕਿਤੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਦਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਧਿਰ ਨਾਲ ਕੋਈ ਮੁਕਾਬਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਪੀਪਲਜ਼ ਪਾਰਟੀ ਆਫ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਤੇ ਸ਼੍ਰੋਮਣੀ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਦਲ (ਲੌਂਗੋਵਾਲ) ਦੋਵੇਂ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਹੋ ਚੁੱਕੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਬਸਪਾ ਨੇ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਸੀਟਾਂ ’ਤੇ ਚੋਣਾਂ ਲੜਨ ਦਾ ਐਲਾਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ  ਅਤੇ ਖੱਬੀਆਂ ਪਾਰਟੀਆਂ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕੀਆਂ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਨੇ ਇਕੱਲਿਆਂ ਚੋਣ ਲੜਨ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੀ ਲੜਾਈ ਭਖਾ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ।
‘ਆਪ’ ਦੇ ਕਨਵੀਨਰ ਅਰਵਿੰਦ ਕੇਜਰੀਵਾਲ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ ਅਤੇ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੂੰ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਐਲਾਨੇ ਜਾਣ ਦੇ ਦੱਤੇ ਗਏ ਬਿਆਨ ਬਾਰੇ ਕੈਪਟਨ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਕੇਜਰੀਵਾਲ ਨੂੰ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਬਾਰੇ ਕੁਝ ਪਤਾ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਆਨੰਦਪਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰਲੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਨੂੰ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਐਲਾਨਿਆ ਜਾ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਹੈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਚੌਥੇ ਮੋਰਚੇ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਆਧਾਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਤਿੰਨ ਵਿਧਾਇਕਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਕੋਈ ਮੋਰਚਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ। ਪਾਰਟੀ ਲਈ ਹੇਠਲੇ ਪੱਧਰ ਤੱਕ ਢਾਂਚਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕੈਪਟਨ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਵੱਲੋਂ  ਸੀਟਾਂ ਜਿੱਤਣ ਦੀਆਂ ਸੰਭਾਵਨਾਵਾਂ ਵਾਲੇ ਆਗੂਆਂ  ਨੂੰ ਹੀ ਟਿਕਟਾਂ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਜਾਣਗੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਜੇਕਰ ਕੋਈ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਵਿਧਾਇਕ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਸੰਭਾਵਨਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਤਾਂ ਉਸਦੀ ਥਾਂ ’ਤੇ ਨਵਾਂ ਚਿਹਰਾ ਉਤਾਰਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਕੈਪਟਨ ਅਮਰਿੰਦਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇ ‘ਹਲਕੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੈਪਟਨ’ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਮੌਕੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਇਤਾਂ ਸੁਣੀਆਂ।
ਸਮਰਾਲਾ (ਪੱਤਰ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਕ): ਵਿਧਾਨ ਸਭਾ ਹਲਕਾ ਸਮਰਾਲਾ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਹਲਕੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੈਪਟਨ’ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਬੋਧਨ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ  ਕੈਪਟਨ ਅਮਰਿੰਦਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਦੀ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਆਉਣ ’ਤੇ ਸਿਹਤ ਤੇ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ  ਵਿੱਚ ਸੁਧਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਕਾਂਗਰਸ  ਸਰਕਾਰ ਬਣਨ ’ਤੇ ਕਿਸਾਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਰਜ਼ਾ ਮੁਆਫ਼ ਕਰਨਾ ਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੁੜ ਲੀਹ ’ਤੇ ਲਿਆਉਣਾ,  ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਕੰਮ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਹਰੇਕ ਵਿਧਾਨ ਸਭਾ ਹਲਕੇ ਵਿੱਚ  ਪਾਰਟੀ ਦੇ ਕੱਦਵਾਰ ਆਗੂਆਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ 10 ਤੋਂ 12 ਮੀਟਿੰਗਾਂ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਜਾਣਗੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਪੰਜਾਬ  ਦਾ ਚੋਣ ਮੈਨੀਫੈਸਟੋ ਸਾਰੇ ਵਰਗਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਲਾਹ ਨਾਲ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਕੈਪਟਨ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਜਦੋਂ ਸੂਬੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਦੀ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਸੀ, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸੂਬਾ ਵਿਕਾਸ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਨੰਬਰ ’ਤੇ ਸੀ, ਅੱਜ ਅਕਾਲੀ-ਭਾਜਪਾ ਗਠਜੋੜ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਨੇ ਸੂਬੇ ਨੂੰ 19ਵੇਂ  ਸਥਾਨ ’ਤੇ ਲਿਆ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਅਖੀਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੈਪਟਨ ਨੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਕੀਤੇ ਸਵਾਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤੇ।
