Chandigarh, July 21, 2020 (Yes Punjab News)
Former MP and senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra today filed a complaint in the State cyber crime cell with regard to fictitious and malicious ‘news reports’ ascribed to him which had been disseminated in the social media even as he wrote a separate letter to chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh to get this issue investigated thoroughly.
In a statement here, the former mp said he had informed the State Cyber crime cell that false statements were being disseminated on social media in the form of news items which attributed false and baseless statements to him. He said he had never made these statements and that this campaign was the work of his political opponents who wanted to harm his reputation.
Prof Chandumajra also clarified that he was among the first persons to protest against the misdeed of the Dera Sirsa head when he tried to impersonate as the tenth Guru. He said fabricated news items being attributed to him in this regard were aimed at defaming him in the eyes of the Sikh world.
He said the fabricated news items had also hurt Sikh sentiments as many people had been misled by the fraudsters. He said those responsible for spreading these false statements should be booked immediately and awarded due punishment.
The SAD leader also wrote a separate letter to the chief minister in which he pointed out that political personalities were falling prey to false propaganda unleashed against them in the social media.
He urged the chief minister to give due directions for a speedy probe into the entire issue. He also requested that the government should take stern action against those indulging in mischief on the social media by inventing false news stories and distributing them through various sources including whats app.
