AAP\u2019s National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal formally inducted and welcomed the former Punjab top cop during an event held here along with AAP\u2019s Punjab state president and MP Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh, co-incharge Raghav Chadha and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly Harpal Singh Cheema. Addressing the media on the occasion, AAP\u2019s national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said that it was a happy day for the people of Punjab today, with the joining of former IG Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh. Kejriwal said that Kunwar Vijay Pratap was not a politician; neither his parents, nor he belong to a political background. He said that the Aam Aadmi Party was not a party of the politicians, neither it has come to do politics; but only for the nation and for the welfare of the people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-193094 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PPNJ2106202108.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PPNJ2106202108.jpg 800w, https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PPNJ2106202108-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PPNJ2106202108-768x338.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>Kejriwal further said that every child of Punjab knows about Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh. \u201cEven his opponents swear of his honesty. He has remained a dedicated cop of the common people, who struggled to get justice for the people of Punjab in the Bargari sacrilege case,\u201d said Kejriwal. He said that the entire Punjab was watching how the masterminds of the Bargari sacrilege and the Kotkapura firing case were roaming freely. Kejriwal said that Kunwar Vijay Pratap did a thorough investigation, found out everything in the case; but the system was against him. \u201cWhen he was unable to do anything while being there in the system; he resigned. It is not an easy task. He did not leave the job for himself but for the people of Punjab to get them justice,\u201d he said. Kejriwal said that after the formation of the AAP government; the culprits of the Bargari sacrilege case would be put behind bars and justice will be given to the people of Punjab.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Further taking a dig at the ruling Congress and other parties in Punjab, the AAP\u2019s national convener said that Punjab was going through a hard time, people were suffering due to the Covid outbreak; but the ruling Congress party was busy in internal feud for the sake of chair. Kejriwal said that there was another party in Punjab, who has charges of corruption against them and another who are not even allowed to enter a locality. The people are seeing and have started saying that in Delhi, the AAP was given a chance once and now there is 24 hours free electricity. They say that the government schools in Delhi have become excellent with better facilities in hospitals and clinics in every locality, said Kejriwal. \u201cThe people say if the AAP can do it in 5 years, then what the other parties have done in 70 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kejriwal said that earlier the people did not have any option, but now they have. He appealed to the people to give chance to the Aam Aadmi Party once, assuring that position and direction would definitely change. Kejriwal also clarified that the AAP\u2019s CM face for Punjab would be from the Sikh society, on whom Punjab will be proud.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanking Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh said that he was going to make a new start and that the land of Punjab had given him everything. The former Punjab top cop said that he resigned because after doing so much hard work, the report was given in Faridkot sessions court, but the order came from Chandigarh. On the date of hearing in the High Court, the Advocate General of Punjab went on leave, he added. \u201cIf Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji could not get justice on the land of Punjab then what would be the condition of the common man,\u201d said Kunwar Vijay Pratap.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Welcoming Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh Bhagwant Mann said that joining of such an officer, who marks honesty and hard work; is a sign of a change, which represents the common people. \u201cPeople had hoped after Kunwar Vijay Pratap\u2019s appointment as the head of SIT probing the Bargari sacrilege case, that the culprits would definitely be punished.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;
