SUCHETGARH: Taranjit Singh Tony, General Secretary of J&K Pradesh Congress Committee and DDC Suchetgarh, has raised serious alarms over the erosion of public trust in the judicial system of India.
While speaking at the public meeting here today, Tony highlighted the alleged misuse of investigative agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax department by the ruling government to target opposition political parties and individual businessmen associated with them.
Tony expressed deep concern over what he described as a misfortune for the country, with investigative agencies allegedly being manipulated by the ruling government for political vendettas. He pointed out that despite claims of impartiality, the actions of these agencies appear vindictive and are primarily aimed at stifling opposition voices.
Highlighting specific cases, Tony cited the arrests of prominent political leaders such as Sibbu Soren, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, and others, emphasizing that these actions lacked concrete evidence of financial wrongdoing. He criticized the absence of any money trail or recovery in such cases, contrasting it with the alleged flow of funds to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) through electoral bonds.
Tony expressed grave concerns about the erosion of trust in the country’s judicial system, warning that future generations may lose faith in its impartiality. While acknowledging the Supreme Court’s role as a beacon of impartiality, Tony lamented that other judicial decisions seemed to align with the ruling government’s agenda, rather than upholding justice.
The senior Congress leader sought rectification in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) due to its gross violation of human rights. He also urged the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance of the discriminatory provisions within the PMLA Act.
In light of these developments, the senior Congress leader urged the public to support the INDI Alliance candidates in the upcoming elections. He emphasized the importance of safeguarding democracy and the nation’s integrity.
Today’s meeting was organized by Neeta Behanji.
Among those who were present include Amrit Bali PCC General Secretary, Jasvir Singh senior social leader, Lucky Singh former Chairman Cantonment Board and senior NC leader, Ashraf Khan social leader, Kuldeep Singh Shanty, Teja Singh.
