‘If needed we will send our officials to Israel for training’: AAP CM Bhagwant Mann

Sitting back at the Opposition’s ‘remote control’ government charge over AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal taking a meeting of senior Punjab officials, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday said that it was his decision to send the officials “for training purposes”.

“If needed, for training purposes, I will send my officers to Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and even Israel. Why should anyone object to that. They (Delhi government) are specialists in education, power, health. Why shouldn’t I send the officers?,” Mann told reporters.

Earlier this week, Kejriwal held a meeting with “top officers” of Punjab to discuss ways to implement the party’s promise of providing 300 units of free electricity in the state. The meeting was held in the absence of Mann. The Shiromani Akali Dal and the Congress alleged that the Punjab government was being run through “remote control” from Delhi.

Former chief minister Amarinder Singh called Bhagwant Mann a “rubber stamp” while Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu alleged it is a “breach of federalism.”

“Is Captain Amarinder Singh everybody? Who is the opposition? Where is the opposition? Don’t criticise for the sake of criticising.  It was I who sent the officers to Delhi, for training. They can go anywhere to learn good things? I allowed it,” a defiant Mann said.

On Monday, Kejriwal had held a meeting with the Punjab chief secretary, secretary (power) and chairman of the state power utility in Delhi over the electricity-related issue, even as Bhagwant Mann was not present in the meeting, the sources said.

Congress Legislative Party leader in Punjab Partap Singh Bajwa claimed that people of the state did not vote for the government which was to be “remote controlled” from Delhi.

Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal also dubbed Kejriwal’s meeting as “unconstitutional and unacceptable”.

Taking a dig at the AAP, Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring asked whether senior state officials will have to be present in Kejriwal’s ‘darbar’.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
