[Chandigarh,Punjab] Congress Punjab Capt Amarinder Rattles Centre’s Probe Against Son+Wife
Congress Punjab chief Amarinder Singh today questioned the timing and motives of the Centre in pursuing the issue of purported foreign accounts of his wife Preneet Kaur and son Raninder Singh He said Swiss bank authority has “certified” that they did not hold such accounts.
He Questioned “The purported accounts shown against the name of his wife and son, had ‘zero’ balance. How is it possible to have an account that too in a Swiss Bank without any balance?”
“This was despite the fact that the HSBC authorities had certified five years ago that they (Kaur and Raninder) did not have any account anywhere with it (the HSBC)”,
Before media He alleged, “since the Punjab Assembly elections were not far away, BJP and Akalis wanted to keep the issue alive during the elections although they know it too well that it will not stand anywhere in the court of law”.
He also announced that he will be seeking quashing of the complaint in the higher court since it had no basis.
The former Chief Minister reiterated it was an act of vendetta initiated deliberately in the run up to the 2017 assembly elections by initiating a “media trial”.
