Ajit group of publication through a press release said that Punjab government is so desperate to act against Dr. Hamdard that it is putting pressure on Vigilance Bureau which is issuing notices one after another.
Issuing a notice of motion to the state for Barjinder Singh Hamdard’s plea for August 16, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today directed issuance of a seven-day notice in case an FIR was registered.
Resolving to stand united against the state government on the “issue of oppression” against them, leaders of opposition parties, including those from the Congress, the BJP, SAD, the BSP and the CPM, came together on a common platform here on Thursday.
While the government has denied there being any political vendetta, the opposition as well as the newspaper have criticised AAP for trying to arm-twist the media.
Dr Barjinder Singh Hamdard, Managing Editor, Ajit Group, who was summoned by the Vigilance Bureau (VB) to appear before it today with regards to ongoing probe into the alleged fund misuse in Jang-e-Azadi memorial, has sought 10 more days.
