Punjab Cabinet Minister Aman Arora has criticized the Congress, BJP, and Shiromani Akali Dal, accusing them of engaging in “dirty and low-level politics” regarding recent events in Sangrur. His remarks specifically reference the case of Jagseer Singh, also known as Jagga, a resident of Namol village, which has drawn significant attention in the political arena.
The minister further claimed that Jagga Singh has nine FIRs registered against him, including cases under the NDPS Act, Excise-related cases and a rape case. These claims were also reflected in the account given by Sangrur SSP Ravjot Grewal. Arora accused opposition parties of selectively presenting the incident and demanded that those making allegations against the government should first consider the police record and ongoing investigation. “Opposition parties are indulging in low-level politics only to defame the AAP government.
Arora said the incident was being politically exploited to target the Aam Aadmi Party government, while asserting that the facts surrounding Jagga Singh’s background and the ongoing police inquiry must also be taken into account. He said four of these cases have resulted in convictions, while four others are under trial. The police officer also said Jagga has a previous criminal record and that the allegations surrounding political provocation were part of the ongoing investigation. He said the Congress, BJP and Akali Dal leaders who were describing Jagga as a person fighting against drugs were ignoring the allegations and cases against him. They should apologise to the people,” Arora said.
