In a statement here, former minister Bikram Singh Majithia said though the government had relented under pressure from the SAD and removed Pannu’s relative Balwinder Singh Kotlabama from the post of Chairman of Punjab Genco today, the chief minister should explain what pressure had been exerted on him to reward the family of an anti-national with a plum post. “The chief minister should come clean and tell Punjabis if he was under pressure from his cabinet colleagues from the Majha belt to reward such anti-national families”.
Mr Majithia also demanded a probe into the entire appointment as well as an inquiry into the activities of Balwinder Singh Kotlabama.
