Bir Devinder Singh moves HC

Chandigarh : Less than three days after the Punjab Government suddenly withdrew his security cover, Punjab Vidhan Sabha’s former Deputy Speaker Bir Devinder Singh today moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court. His petition is scheduled to come up for hearing on Tuesday. Reacting to the withdrawal of the security cover provided to him for almost two decades now, Bir Devinder Singh has asserted he had been targeted for extending support to former Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal for his “Jago Punjab Yatra”.  Terming the entire process of withdrawal of security cover from his ancestral home in Kotla Bhai Ka village in Sirhind and his residence in Model Town, Patiala, as “politically motivated”, Bir Devinder Singh alleged since he had been instrumental in criticising the government for their “wrongdoings”, he had been targeted.
