AAP MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap Makes Explosive Revelations

On 17 Apr, in Amritsar, former Indian Police Service officer and AAP Amritsar North MLA  Kunwar Vijay Partap made explosive revelations on the functioning of the AAP govt. He did so by organizing a rally to seek votes for the party’s Amritsar candidate, Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, but used the stage to speak about how he was humiliated by the AAP govt. As a police officer, Partap had investigated the 2015 Guru Granth Sahib sacrilege, Kotakpura and Behbal Kalan police firing cases, and filed his report. Unsatisfied by the then Amarinder Singh-led INC govt., he resigned and joined AAP to contest and win from Amritsar. He said, ‘I regret that justice was promised to be delivered within 24 hours. Panjab CM didn’t even once talk about it with me. I went to court on my own and won the case.' Pratap was referring to the court case where he challenged the court quashing his report. He clearly accused the Panjab govt. of being run from Delhi and said at least two officers of the Panjab Police involved in supporting the drug trade in Amritsar are Raghav Chadha’s blue-eyed boys. The statements have sparked a firestorm in Panjab with opposition demanding a probe into the statements. It is an open secret that earlier Partap was wooed by AAP and now has been isolated. He said had Kejriwal kept him around, no Central Bureau of Investigation or Enforcement Directorate would have touched Kejriwal. Since the Kejriwal jail saga began, Chadha has been conspicuous by his absence. He is supposedly in London for eye treatment (SDW Vol. 1 Issue 14, Story 9).
