Amritsar, March 15 — Congress leaders today visited the residence of Tajinder Singh, a state-level employees’ wing leader from Nangal Dayal Singh, to express solidarity after he reportedly became a target of government overreach.
MP and former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa met the family and assessed Tajinder Singh’s condition, describing the episode as “painful and shameful.” He called on the authorities to hold the responsible police officials accountable. “Employees who helped bring this government to power are now facing continuous harassment,” Randhawa stated. “Such treatment cannot be accepted in a democracy, and Congress will stand with the family until justice is delivered.”
The delegation included former MLA and constituency in-charge Sukhwinder Singh Danny Bandala, who condemned what he described as a growing pattern of oppressive measures against citizens. “Teachers, farmers, and other government employees protesting for their rights are daily subjected to lathi charges and tear gas,” Bandala said. He asserted that the government’s approach has exposed its true character, warning that voters in Punjab would respond at the ballot box.
Randhawa criticized the government for mismanaging law and order and likened the state to a police-controlled environment. “Instead of beating people, the administration should work for their welfare,” he remarked. The Congress leaders reiterated that they would take every possible step to ensure Tajinder Singh receives justice, framing the visit as both a show of moral support and a political statement against perceived governmental failings.
The visit highlights the party’s broader commitment to defending public servants and citizens who face alleged administrative excesses, reinforcing Congress’s stance on law, order, and democratic rights.
