UPA minister receiving honour from convict Bibi Jagir Kaur attracts criticsim

JALANDHAR: Participation of union minister of state for social justice Balram Naik, in a function in Bholath constituency on Sunday and sharing stage with SAD MLA and former SGPC chief Bibi Jagir Kaur - who is a convict in the case of death of her daughter and is currently out from jail on bail - and receiving honour from her, has triggered a controversy with his own party demanding an apology from him.

Criticizing Naik on this account former Bholath MLA Sukhpal Khaira said that Naik should seek public apology for allowing a convict Bibi Jagir Kaur to honour him besides sharing dias with her, during a public function on Sunday. "In case the minister fails to tender a public apology, he would be gheraod and greeted with black flags next time he visits Punjab," Khaira announced.

The function was organized by Baba Makhan Shah Lubana Foundation headed by former NRI Sabha president Pritam Singh Narangpur, a supporter of Bibi Jagir Kaur and Naik happens to be all India president of Banjara Sewak Samaj. Bibi Jagir Kaur was convicted and sentenced to five years rigorous imprisonment and after serving around six months in jail she has recently come out from jail after being granted bail by Punjab and Haryana High Court during pendency of her appeal in the High Court.

"The participation and honouring of the Minister by a convict has sent a very negative signal to the society in general and youth in particular. By allowing a convict to garland him and accept honours the Union Minister has done gross disservice to morality in politics," Khaira said without mincing words.

"Persons such as Balram Nayak holding responsible public offices are expected to lead by example and are not to stoop to such low levels of politicking," he said.

"This blatant and brazen wrongful act of the Minister amounts to promoting criminality in politics. In other words it means that we should not hesitate to indulge in criminal acts while being in politics. It is also highly immoral for Bibi Jagir Kaur to garland and honour a Union Congress Minister, while her party leaves no stone unturned in severely criticizing the UPA government daily," he added.

Khaira held that upholding high moral values and principles he as a representative of the party in the area strongly condemned the "immoral, unethical and cowardly" act of the Union Minister and demanded immediate public apology.

In case the minister fails to tender a public apology, he would be 'Gheraod' and greeted with black flags next time he visits Punjab.
