Chandigarh, June 10: Shiromani Akali Dal chief Parkash Singh Badal today alleged that Amrinder Singh government was planning to get him arrested in the coming days to "demoralise" his party.
"I have authentic information that all police and legal formalities have been completed by the Amarinder Singh government to get me and my family members arrested. The delay is taking place due to spurt in violent activities in Jalandhar and elsewhere," Badal told reporters after presiding over his party's political affairs committee meeting here.
Refusing to seek anticipatory bail, the Akali leader said he was "a law abiding citizen and ready to cooperate in investigations." "Tell me the time and place and I will be there."
He claimed that if any of the allegations that he had amassed properties abroad were proved true, he would resign from the party.
Badal challenged chief minister Amarinder Singh to step down in case the allegations were proved wrong.
