CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress on Monday demanded registration of criminal case and immediate arrest of Punjab revenue minister Bikram Singh Majithia for allegedly trying to incite violence against Congress candidate from Amritsar, Capt Amarinder Singh, and intimidating party workers. The complaint cited a reported statement of Majithia that "he will teach a lesson to Congress workers by twisting their necks, if they dare to support Capt Amarinder Singh". In a complaint to Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath, Congress has alleged, "Majithia made a provocative speech at Majitha in Amritsar district on March 30, where he tried to provoke and incite people against the Congress candidate from Amritsar parliamentary constituency, Capt Amarinder Singh. He also used extreme intimidatory language against Congress cadres and workers by saying that he will teach a lesson to Congress workers by twisting their necks, if they dare to support Capt Amarinder Singh." "Majithia made this provocative speech at a public rally in presence of Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and BJP candidate from Amritsar, Arun Jaitely. Majithia's utterances cannot be dismissed as off hand. Besides, he had said similar things in 2011 in Punjab assembly, where he had gone to the extent of saying that he was ready to chop off Capt Amarinder Singh's head and put it at Badal's feet," the complaint added. The complaint further alleged that Majithia as president of Youth Akali Dal (YAD) has been patronizing and shielding criminals and gangsters in Punjab. "Recently, he was named as kingpin of drug trafficking in the state, by none other than the Rs 6,000-crore drug mafia don Jagdish Bhola, who is now in police custody," it said. Apparently to prompt the ECI into taking action, the complaint said, "We appreciate the strict action taken by ECI by arresting Imran Masood, a Congress candidate from Saharanpur, for his provocative utterances against Narendra Modi."
