A joint delegation of SAD and BJP today urged Pb Guv @vpsbadnore to dismiss @capt_amarinder led #Congress govt and recommend an inquiry by a sitting judge of the HC or the CBI into the #HoochTragedy besides an ED probe to recover the ill gotten wealth acquired by Cong leaders.1/7
Properties of all those involved in the illicit liquor trade be confiscated, smuggling of denatured spirit & ENA from distilleries be stopped, murder cases be registered against all those named by the victim families particularly Khadoor Sahib MLA @RSinghsikki. 2/7
This #HoochTragedy that claimed 118 lives is the result of State patronage as people across Amritsar, Tarn Taran and Gurdaspur have been affected by the same lot of contaminated liquor, distributed with the nexus between Congress leaders and MLAs, police and excise officials. 3/7
One of the victims is being threatened as she recorded complaint against KhadoorSahib MLA. She has been denied compensation for the death of 2 family members. @sunilkjakhar & @RahulGandhi are mum as the share from this illicit trade goes right up to @INCIndia high command. 4/7
Punjab CM @capt_amarinder has failed to perform his duty as the Excise and Home minister. He took no action against Cong MLAs Madan Lal Jalalpur and Hardyal Singh Kamboj despite the fact that they patronized the culprits running two illegal distilleries at Rajpura and Khanna. 5/7
We also demand action against two distilleries run by MLA Rana Gurjit Singh and the family of CM's Religious Advisor @ParamjitSSarna who are being accused of indulging in liquor smuggling and release of ENA and denatured spirit into the market illegally. 6/7

The illicit liquor trade has already caused a loss of Rs 5,600 cr to State treasury. Night curfew during the extended lockdown in Punjab was also used to transport illicit liquor freely. The former CS had also accused ministers of causing a massive loss to the treasury. 7/7
