Amritsar: Inspector General Punjab Police presently posted with Punjab Armed Police at Jallandhar Parmpal Singh Sidhu on Friday told the Election Commission that he was getting threats from leaders of SAD(Badal).

Sidhu, who was earlier Police Commissioner, Amritsar, was recently asked by the EC to reply to the complaint filed by SAD.

In his reply to the EC, Sidhu said his brother Ishwardas Singh was contesting as a Sant Samaj candidate from Lambi seat against SAD leader and chief minister Parkash Singh Badal.

He alleged that pressure was being mounted on him to convince his brother not to contest against Badal and he was getting threats from various corners in this regard.

On the other hand, SAD (Badal) candidate from Amritsar South constituency Inderbir Bularia has filed complaint against Sidhu alleging that he was campaigning in favour of Congress candidate Jasbir Singh Dimpa.

Sidhu said a complaint was filed before the EC due to political reasons. He told the Commission if any kind of harm was meted out to him or his family members from any corner, he would hold political leaders responsible.
