Congress leadership listens to families affected by drugs and violence in Sangrur
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi interacted with affected families during the Sangrur rally and assured them of full help in getting justice.
During the 'Insaaf Rally' organized at village Fagguwala in Sangrur, national Congress party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi met three families suffering from drugs and violence. Both leaders listened to the problems of the victimized parties and promised every possible cooperation.
The heirs of Sukhwinder Singh Calcutta, who lost his life due to bullet injuries in village Sehna of Barnala district, presented their case before the leaders. Demanding a fair probe into the matter, family members accused Bhadaur MLA Labh Singh Ughoke of being involved in the incident. Nothing has yet been proved in court.
Similarly, the family of late leader and former sarpanch Gurmeel Singh of village Tutt in Tarn Taran also approached the leadership. Gurmeel Singh was shot dead by attackers in the Patti area last year. His family raised a demand for strict action against the culprits and a thorough investigation.
Prakash Chand, a resident of Bathinda city and a retired sanitation worker, described the condition of his house. He stated that his 36-year-old son has fallen into the trap of drugs, due to which the family is facing severe financial distress. The family sought help for the youth's rehabilitation, financial assistance, and the school education of the girls of the house.
During the rally, Rahul Gandhi called late singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu Moosewala's father Balkaur Singh Sidhu onto the stage and met him. Balkaur Singh expressed gratitude to Congress for pursuing the murder case and standing by the family.
Jalandhar MP Charanjit Singh Channi stated that the party leadership has seriously listened to the troubles of all affected families and has decided to raise their voice at every appropriate platform.
