Ferozepur: A day amidst speculation that Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) leader & MP from Ferozepur Sher Singh Ghubaya’s son Davinder, along with his mother, would join the Congress, Punjab vigilance bureau (VB) sleuths on Tuesday raided the Ghubaya College of Engineering and Technology run by the family at Sukhera Bodla in Jalalabad.
While talking to Hindustan Times (HT) Ghubaya’s son Davinder Singh reportedly confirmed the development. A VB team led by a deputy superintendent of police seized records from the college. Ghubaya said the records were handed over to VB sleuths. “We have done nothing illegal,” claimed Ghubaya, who along with his supporters spent entire day to explain that neither he nor his family will leave the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal).
On Monday, Congress sources had maintained that Ghubaya’s wife and son would be joining the party on Tuesday in New Delhi.
As per media reports Ghubaya decided to strike back after “feeling sidelined” by Sukhbir, for whom he had vacated the Jalalabad seat in the 2009 assembly bypolls.
Sukhbir Badal’s seat Jalalabad is now being looked after by his officer on special duty Satinderjit Singh Manta and Ghubaya has been “conspicuous” with his regular absence from “sangat darshans” as well as other visits of Sukhbir Badal since the past many months..
