Journalists chased out of AAP rally as Mann loses it
BASSI PATHANA (FATEHGARH SAHIB): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann incited party volunteers to throw mediapersons out of the venue of a rally here on Thursday, after journalists questioned him about a sex scandal leading to ouster of an AAP minister in Delhi. As soon as he asked the media to leave “or people will throw you out”, party volunteers tried to snatch cameras and also manhandled journalists, who had to run out of the venue.It started after Mann, who was over three hours late , went to the stage and, instead of answering media queries, shot back at journalists: “I request the media to leave the pandal and they can publish whatever they want!” Mann said he even knew what will be the headlines in the next day’s papers. “They will write, ‘Mann reaches rally venue three hours late’. And they will accuse me of insulting them,” he said. His entire speech, for about 20 minutes, was dedicated to bashing the media.Party candidate from Bassi Pathana Santokh Singh Salana tried to intervene and snatched the microphone from Mann, but only for a few minutes.
Mann grabbed the microphone again and accused the journalists of taking bribe: “I know you take money for publishing someone’s name. I know that you go to people and say there is a story against them and ask for money not to publish it.” Before leaving, he urged people not to believe the media. “What is the big deal if the mediapersons have left. I am always with you,” he said to the gathering.Later, Fatehgarh Sahib MP Harinder Singh Khalsa, who remains suspended from AAP, quipped, “He is always out of his senses. He must be drunk while doing this blunder.”
Bassi Pathana Akali MLA Nirmal Singh condemned the incident: “Media is the fourth pillar of democracy and Mann has attacked the watchdog of democracy for no reason.” District Congress president Harinder Singh Bhambri , too, issued a statement: “He (Mann) is out of his mind. We demand an unconditional apology from him.”
VOLUNTEERS RESIGN Just before the rally began
on Thursday morning, as many as 50 AAP volunteers resigned from the AAP. Supporters of AAP ticket aspirant Manjinder Romi quit in protest against the candidature of Salana from Bassi Pathana.
AAP stung by another ‘sting’
MORE TROUBLE Former party leader Kingra releases audio clip, accuses AAP’s Delhi leaders of accepting money collected from Punjab; former bureaucrat is close to sacked party convener Chhotepur
A bag containing `16 lakh was given to AAP national spokesman Ashutosh and another `5 lakh to party’s Punjab affairs in-charge Sanjay Singh before Maghi Mela in January. HS KINGRA, former AAP leader
CHANDIGARH: Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Hardip Singh Kingra, who recently resigned from the party, alleged that party’s Delhi leaders had been accepting cash collected by Punjab leaders for the party.A former bureaucrat, Kingra is a close aide of party’s sacked leader Sucha Singh Chhotepur.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Kingra said a bag containing ` 16 lakh was handed over to AAP national spokesman Ashutosh and another `5 lakh to party’s Punjab affairs in-charge Sanjay Singh.
“I headed the AAP’s finance committee and we had 12 members with us. Before the Maghi Mela in January this year, we collected around `24 lakh from party supporters,” said Kingra. “While everyone deposited the amount into the party fund, one of the members of the fundraising committee, Surinder Singh Arora, told me that he had collected `6 lakh but given `5 lakh to Sanjay Singh and only `1 lakh was deposited in the party account.”Rubbishing the allegations, Arora said he would file a defamation case against Kingra. Arora said he had all details of funds raised for the party.
Sanjay Singh also refuted the charges and said Arora was telling the truth. `5 LAKH TO MEET PATHAK? Kingra also played a conversation, purportedly between AAP worker from Samrala, Paramjit Dhillon, and party’s Ludhiana sector observer Ambrish Trikha, in which Trikha is heard asking Dhillon that he will have to pay `5 lakh per month to “meet and hang around” party’s national organisation builder Durgesh Pathak so he is seen as a prominent AAP leader. Trikha added that the payment could also be made through cheque. He said if anybody wants to “meet” Pathak, he has to pay `5 lakh. Ambrish could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.
AAP RUBBISHES CHARGES When contacted, Pathak said he was not responsible for a conversation between two persons. “If someone is demanding money using my name, how can I be held responsible for it? The party has taken the recorded conversation seriously. We have asked for an inquiry into the contents of the audio clip. Strict action will be taken if the allegations are found to be true,” Pathak said.
The AAP has dismissed the allegations saying Kingra was defaming the party as he was denied ticket for contesting assembly polls. Kingra said party’s Tarn Taran zone coordinator Iqbal Singh had handed over `16 lakh to Ashutosh. He said the money was part of the `1.5 crore collected during the 13 fundraising lunches and dinners organised by the party across Punjab. Ashutosh could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.
Challenging the party’s legal cell in-charge Himmat Singh Shergill to take him to the court for defaming him, Kingra said he (Shergill) had “lied” when he said that 13 bank accounts of the AAP were functional in Punjab. “Twenty-seven bank accounts of the party were functional during the Lok Sabha polls in Punjab of which only four-five are active now. There is no account from which the Punjab leaders are given money,” he said.
MANY BUSHFIRES ERUPT IN AAP AFTER CHHOTEPUR SACKING
Rebel AAP workers led by former local party leader Ashwani Joshi protested against party convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal by burning his effigy and the party’s caps on Chandigarh Road on Thursday. Joshi, who claims to have been shortlisted for the Anandpur Sahib Lok Sabha seat in 2014, said Kejriwal is a dictator and has “forgotten promises”. He accused AAP’s Delhi leaders of insulting Punjabis by acting against MPs Dharamvira Gandhi and Harinder Singh Khalsa, and Chhotepur.
PATIALA: STONES THROWN AT PARTY OFFICE
Volunteers protested at the AAP zonal office, demanding that Chhotepur be made Punjab convener again. They also hurled stones at the closed office and alleged the party has sold tickets. They demanded change of candidate at Ghanaur and Nabha. They were led by Amarinder Singh Tur, Gian Singh Mungo and Narinder Singh Kaleke.PATHANKOT: CLASH BETWEEN AAP FACTIONS
The police in Pathankot booked over a dozen AAP workers owing allegiance to Kejriwal, on Thursday, for a clash with others owing allegiance to Chhotepur. Those booked included a party leader, Amarjit Singh, who arranged a rally on Wednesday in Bhoa constituency, where the group inclined to Chhotepur was allegedly denied entry.
AMRITSAR: VERTICAL SPLIT AFTER THRASHING
The differences within the AAP are out in the open in Amritsar now with allegations and counter-allegations hitting the headlines daily. The rift showed when some volunteers opposing the Delhi team and asking them to go back from Punjab thrashed senior AAP worker Anil Mahajan, who was raising slogans in favour of Kejriwal. This incident on Tuesday vertically divided the party here, with Amritsar zone in-charge Gurinder Singh Bajwa opposing the Delhi team; and national council member Ashok Talwar and other members of the local unit backing Kejriwal.
BATHINDA: RIFT GOES TO THE ROOTS
The rift in AAP has reached the lowest level of party workers here. Angered over Chhotepur’s removal, a volunteer here closed the party’s zonal office being run from his building in Bathinda. This man, Surjit Singh, who had contested the 2007 assembly polls as BSP candidate from Talwandi Sabo, had dedicated his building as party office. The rift has emboldened those not happy with the ticket allotment; which was evident from a protest by workers against the women’s wing president Baljinder Kaur who is the candidate from Talwandi Sabo, on Wednesday. There were reports of a party section being unhappy, but nobody had come forward until the Chhotepur sacking emboldened the disgruntled elements. Ironically, the protesting group was considered opposed to Chhotepur as Baljinder was considered close to Chhotepur not very long ago.
Last session, back Channi, Capt tells Cong MLAs
CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh has told the party legislators to throw their weight behind leader of opposition Charanjit Singh Channi in the Vidhan Sabha session starting on September 8. It is to caution them not to abandon him like last time.Amarinder briefed them at the state Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting here on Thursday. “It is our last session,” he told the media later, “and I have advised the CLP leader to make it count by raising crucial issues in the House.” In the previous assembly session, an isolated Channi had a struggling initiation as CLP leader.
At the CLP meeting, Ferozepur legislator Parminder Pinky got up to object over the venue, Channi’s house. A few senior leaders were concerned immediately but the MLA — who had a spat with Channi inside the CLP office at the Vidhan Sabha in the last session — claimed “no such thing happened”.Captain asked previous state CLP leader Sunil Jakhar to share his wisdom and experience with Channi, who took over as leader of the opposition earlier this year. The CLP will meet again to shortlist the issues for the four-day session. “The issues are many — farm debt, the poor not getting the benefits of blue card and other schemes,” Amarinder told the media.
He said the MLAs had their respective issues but the session was too short to raise all. Nearly 40 of 46 Congress legislators, besides the party’s Punjab affairs in-charge Harish Chaudhary attended the meeting. Amarinder’s wife, Preneet Kaur; former chief minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, and MLAs Karan Kaur Brar (Muktsar), Ajit Inder Singh Mofar (Sardulgarh), and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring (Gidderbaha) were notable absentees.
The next CLP meeting is likely after the obituary references on the first day of the session.Meanwhile, Amarinder clarified that viral fever had kept him away from the death anniversary function of former chief minister Beant Singh on Wednesday. It was in reaction to the news reports that highlight his absence from the event.
HC notice to Punjab for allotting
‘barren’ land to war widow
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana high court has issued a contempt notice to the secretary, revenue and rehabilitation, Punjab, on a petition filed by a 1971 war widow alleging allotment of “useless land” to her across the fence on the international border with Pakistan instead of a cultivable land.
The high court bench of justice Rakesh Kumar Jain has sought a reply by October 21 on the petition moved by Jasbir Kaur, wife of Major Kanwaljit Singh, a Delhi resident.
The petition says Kanwaljit was taken into custody by the Pakistan army during 1971 war but was later declared martyred and was awarded Shaurya Chakra.he high court had in 2015 directed Punjab to allot 10 acres of cultivable land to the petitioner, as per policy of the Punjab government, or in the alternative, to make her payment for the price of the land. The court was told that the revenue department allotted her 10 acres of “useless land”, which could not be cultivated, as it situated across the fence, beyond the BSF check-post, at zero point on the International border between India and Pakistan in Amritsar.
“There is no source of irrigation. Moreover, the authorities don’t permit installation of tubewell. There are many restrictions in approaching the land even during the day. Even a temporary hut for labourers cannot be permitted,” the petitioner had submitted adding that state’s act was in violation of court orders.
AAP leaders indulging in immorality, says SAD
If one studies the AAP list of assembly poll candidates in Punjab, it is clear that it has adopted the Delhi model of ticket distributon. Already there are allegations that corrupt officials and history-sheeters have been fielded. Dr DALJIT SINGH CHEEMA, SAD spokesman
CHANDIGARH: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday said the AAP leaders had resorted to “debauchery”, pointing out the sex tape scandal of Delhi minister Sandeep Kumar who was sacked after the expose.
“The minster’s episode is one among the long list of crimes of the Delhi AAP legislators, including lying, cheating, domestic violence, sexual misconduct and raking up of communal tensions,” SAD spokespersons Dr Daljit Singh Cheema and Maheshinder Singh Grewal said in a statement here.
“One-third of the AAP MLAs in Delhi, including chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and assembly speaker Ram Nivas Goyal, have criminal cases pending against them,” the SAD leaders said.hey also pointed out the skirmishes amongst the AAP leaders in Punjab following the release of the candidates’ list of that party.
“If one studies the current list of party tickets released by the AAP for the assembly election in Punjab, it is clear that it has adopted the Delhi model for distributing party nominations. Already there are allegations that corrupt officials and history-sheeters have been given the party tickets in Punjab. Won’t such persons indulge in the same malpractices here?” the SAD leaders asked.
They stated that AAP leaders themselves were detailing that how Uttar Pradesh-based AAP leaders were asking for and taking crores of rupees from ticket aspirants in Punjab.
“In all, 48 criminal cases had been registered against 22 AAP legislators at various police stations in Delhi. The government itself could be toppled soon if this trend continues as the Tihar jail will become home of most of the AAP legislators,” the SAD leaders remarked.

New Delhi, September 1
Former Delhi minister Sandeep Kumar, who was sacked over an "objectionable" CD, today alleged that he was being targeted under a "conspiracy" as he was a Dalit and demanded a probe into the issue.
"This is a conspiracy against me as I belong to Valmiki Samaj. There should be a probe into this matter. I am very hurt by watching the video on television. There is no authenticity of this CD. Authenticity should be checked," he told reporters at his residence here.
(Follow The Tribune on Facebook; and Twitter @thetribunechd)
Asked if he was the one featured in the CD, Kumar, who held the portfolios of Social Welfare and Women and Child Development, said that it is a matter of investigation and truth should come out.
"I am the only Dalit face of the party. I have been popular among Dalit community, that's why a conspiracy has been hatched against me. Other political parties are after us as we do not have a political background," he added.
In a sudden move, Kumar was sacked by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal last night after receiving an “objectionable” CD in which he was shown in a compromising position with a woman.
The decision to remove the 36-year-old minister was taken at a high-level meeting attended by top AAP leaders and the announcement was made by Kejriwal himself through a tweet.
Kumar, however, insisted that he had resigned on moral grounds.
"Someone is saying the video is two months old and others are saying it is three months old. There is no authentication Dalits have been exploited always. I belong to a poor family, so I know the facts are distorted. I have been framed because I am a Dalit," he said.
He also lashed out at the media.
"Without knowing my side, the media is showing things. My family is with me. I am not afraid of such controversies. I am a loyal person and can sacrifice anything for my community. It is the history of this country that whenever we have tried to rise, we have been suppressed. It is entirely a conspiracy against me and there should be an inquiry in it," he said.
"I have resigned on basis of morality. If media is trying to twist it then it is wrong. I was a soldier of AAP earlier and now also I won't let the party be defamed," he said.
BJP protests outside CM residence
Scores of BJP members today staged a protest outside the residence of Delhi Chief Minister demanding expulsion of Sandeep Kumar from the AAP.
Raising slogans against Kejriwal and Kumar and waving BJP flags, party workers tried to march towards the Chief Minister’s residence in Civil Lines area, but were stopped close to it by the police, which barricaded their entry.
Several partymen tried to cross over the barricade but were thwarted as police resorted to use of water cannons.
“We demand this AAP minister’s (Sandeep Kumar) expulsion from the party on moral grounds. Previously, too, few ministers have been sacked over one controversy or another, and this again shows the face of Aam Aadmi Party,” a BJP leader said. — PTI

Another attempt to provide alternative
- This is the fourth time in Punjab’s recent political history that an attempt has been made to steer the largely bipolar politics (between the Akalis and the Congress) towards what now seems to be a four-cornered political arena. In the 1999 general elections and 2002 Assembly elections, former SGPC president Gurcharan Singh Tohra had unsuccessfully tried to create a third political alternative. In 2012, Manpreet Badal too tried to give an alternative to the traditional politics.

ਇਸ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਅਲਾਵਲਪੁਰ ਵਿਚ ਮੀਂਹ ਪੈਣ ਕਾਰਨ ਸੰਗਤ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਅੱਧ ਅਧੂਰਾ ਹੀ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ ਤੇ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਾਦਲ ਵਲੋਂ ਕਾਹਲੀ ਵਿਚ ਹੀ ਗ੍ਰਾਂਟਾਂ ਦੇ ਐਲਾਨ ਕਰਕੇ, ਬਿਨਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲ ਕੀਤੇ ਹੀ ਚਲੇ ਗਏ। ਇਸ ਕਾਰਨ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਾਦਲ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਣ ਲਈ ਤਿਆਰ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਆਏ ਵਰਕਰ ਦਿਲ ਮਸੋਸ ਕੇ ਰਹਿ ਗਏ।
ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹਰੀਪੁਰ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਾਦਲ ਨੂੰ ਉਦੇਸੀਆਂ, ਤਲਵੰਡੀ ਅਰਾਇਆ, ਚੂਹੜਵਾਲੀ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਜਾਣਾ ਪਿਆ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਆਦਮਪੁਰ-ਹਰੀਪੁਰ ਰੋਡ ’ਤੇ ਸੀਵਰੇਜ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਚੱਲਣ ਅਤੇ ਸੜਕ ਦੀ ਹਾਲਤ ਠੀਕ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ, ਜਿਸ ਕਾਰਨ ਅਧਿਕਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਰੂਟ 6 ਕਿਲੋਮੀਟਰ ਲੰਬਾ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਇਸ ਮੌਕੇ ਹਰੀਪੁਰ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਦਮਪੁਰ-ਹਰੀਪੁਰ ਸੜਕ ਦੀ ਮਾੜੀ ਹਾਲਤ ਬਾਰੇ ਵੀ ਮੁੱਖ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣੂ ਕਰਵਾਇਆ। ਮੀਂਹ ਆਉਣ ਦੇ ਡਰ ਕਾਰਨ ਅਧਿਕਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਹਰੀਪੁਰ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ ਸੰਗਤ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਛੇਤੀ ਹੀ ਖਤਮ ਕਰਵਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਤੇ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਾਦਲ ਨੂੰ ਪੱਤਰਕਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਵੀ ਗੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨ ਦਿੱਤੀ।
