Partap Bajwa demands removal of Punjab AG Atul Nanda

Chandigarh, May 10, 2021 (Yes Punjab News)
Raising the issue of the incompetence of Punjab Advocate General Atul Nanda once again, former PPCC Chief and Senior Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa Monday asked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to remove the AG for the benefit of the state and to safeguard the image of the INC.

In a statement released here today, Bajwa said it was essential to remove the albatross from around the Government’s neck and remove Atul Nanda from his post as Advocate General of Punjab.

“He has repeatedly shirked his duty, especially with regards to the sacrilege cases. He has continuously been hiring special counsels from New Delhi at high costs to the Public Exchequer. The continued failures in important cases have led to the public questioning his competence for the job,” the Rajya Sabha MP said.

Bajwa said the son of Krishan Bhagwan Singh, who was martyred in the police firing at Behbal Kalan in 2015 has declared that he will not cooperate with the new SIT, especially as the AG failed in his duty to competently argue the case in the High Court.

“The fact that families of victims have started speaking out against the AG and have begun to refuse to help the SIT shows the serious lack of faith, the citizens have with the AG in this most important fight for justice,” he said.

Making an important announcement, Bajwa said, “We have reached a crossroads both in the State and the Party. The AG must be removed if the Government wishes to truly rebuild bridges with the public. Anything less would also be breaking the solemn promise of the INC in bringing the perpetrators of these heinous crimes to justice.”
