Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu’s aide Mohammad Mustafa alleged communal remarks have drawn the ire of opposition parties in the poll-bound state. An FIR has been lodged against the former IPS officer for the alleged comments he made at a public meeting in Malerkotla.
Mustafa allegedly issued death threats to AAP workers, accusing them of being RSS agents.
“I swear by God. I won’t allow any procession. I am a kaumi fauji (country’s soldier), not an RSS agent hiding in the house. If they repeat their actions, I will enter their homes and kill them. This is a warning, I am not fighting for votes, but for my country,” he is heard saying.
Mustafa made the comments after AAP workers held a parallel rally near his meeting venue. His comments drew sharp criticism from Opposition.
Former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s Punjab Lok Congress, BJP and AAP have demanded strict action against Mustafa and punishment by the Election Commission. They also accused Congress of distorting peace.
