Day after relief, Bagga says Punjab cops arrested him ‘like a terrorist’
BAGGA SAYS HE WILL CONTINUE TO ASK DELHI CM ARVIND KEJRIWAL QUESTIONS WHETHER ONE OR 1,000 CASES ARE REGISTERED AGAINST HIM
NEW DELHI : BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga on Wednesday said he was arrested by the Punjab Police “like a terrorist” for asking AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal about his promises to act against the accused in the Guru Granth Sahib sacrilege case, drug mafia and Khalistani separatists in the state.
Holding his first press conference after his dramatic arrest that saw the police forces of Punjab, Haryana and Delhi in a tussle, Bagga said he will continue to ask Kejriwal questions about his promise to act against those who dishonoured the Guru Granth Sahib in Punjab, drug mafia and separatists raising slogans of Khalistan in the state.
“I will continue to ask Kejriwal questions whether one or 1,000 cases are registered against me,” said Bagga at the Delhi BJP office. In a dramatic turn of events, Bagga was arrested by the Punjab Police from his Janakpuri residence in Delhi last week. A case of kidnapping was registered by the Delhi Police and he was brought back to
Delhi from Kurukshetra where the Haryana Police had stopped their Punjab counterparts.
“I was arrested like a terrorist. Was it my fault to ask Kejriwal about his promise to arrest accused in Guru Granth Sahib sacrilege, was it my fault to ask him about action against drug mafia and separatists raising slogans of Khalistan in Punjab,” the BJP leader said.
The Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday directed Punjab Police not to arrest Bagga till July 6.
