New Delhi, July 03: Ruling out any halt to investigations of allegations of corruption against Akali Dal leader Parkash Singh Badal, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today said he was not targetting individuals but corruption per se. "I have not targetted any rivals. People have made it look as if it is I vs Badal or Congress vs the Akali. I have said the fight is not against any individual or any party but against corruption. Whether it is A, B or C is not important. It is corruption we are going for,” he told.
Singh, however, said Badal will not be arrested but will have to face the court after evidences against him are collected.
"I am not planning to arrest Parkash Singh Badal. I have made it clear. I am not going to arrest him. I will put it before the court. Let him face it,” Singh said.
The Punjab Chief Minister, however, said investigations against the former corrupt ministers or officials will not be stopped.
He said his government will look into any charges of corruption against any of his ministers or officials if it is brought forward.
