BJP to move court for action against Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu

LUDHIANA: The BJP will fight a legal battle against Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu, because the police have failed to take any action on their complaints against his unlawful actions, party’s district president Pushpinder Singal said on Friday. Issuing a press release here, Singal claimed that first Bittu took the responsibility of attack on state BJP president Ashwani Sharma and then he threatened to pile up dead bodies in Punjab if farm ordinances are not rolled back. He said they had given written complaints in both cases to the police commissioner, but no action was taken. Singal said they had staged a protest at Shingaar Cinema Road to show their anger against the Congress government and Bittu, and then decided to go ahead with a continuous protest at Clock Tower Chowk. But, on the instruction of the state government, the cops disturbed the entire market area, so that their protest ends prematurely. For the sake of businessmen and common public, they shifted the venue to the police commissioner’s office, but even there they were not allowed to sit, he said. Then they started their protest outside the mini secretariat. On Thursday, when they were going to gherao the CP office, the cops manhandled many of the BJP workers, including females, and they were detained from the spot, he claimed. Having seen all these incidents, they are convinced that no action would be taken against Bittu, so now they would fight a legal battle against him and file a case against him shortly, Singal added.
