A local court today adjourned the case registered against Congress MLA from Kila Raipur, Jassi Khangura, till February 2. The MLA appeared in the court of the judicial magistrate, Amita Kaur.

Meanwhile a number of supporters of MLA Khangura came to lend him moral support outside the courts complex. After his court hearing, while addressing his supporters, Khangura said that this was not for the first time that Akali government had falsely implicated a Congress worker in a criminal case. “I have full faith in the judiciary and I just want to tell the Akali government to stop behaving in an irresponsible manner, otherwise the consequences will be very bad. In the coming Lok Sabha elections, Akalis will come to know where they stand in the eyes of voters,” Khanugra said.

Khangura claimed law-and-order situation was deteriorating in the state and the only thing in the state was the harassment of common people. “Badal is talking so much about the developmental issues, but I want to ask every Akali leader can they justify by example that whatever Akali government has announced is being done,” he said.
