Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Media In-charge Baltej Pannu on Friday questioned Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) leader Bikram Singh Majithia's silence following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids at the premises of one of his close associates and a summons issued to another.
Taking a dig at Majithia, Pannu said the Akali leader, who often speaks out on various issues and comments on the actions of investigative agencies, has suddenly chosen not to respond to the latest developments.
In a post on X, Pannu wrote, "The self-proclaimed General of Majha, Bikram Majithia has been very quiet since yesterday? He talks so much about others' medical records and medicines! He used to act as the spokesperson for the CBI and ED. Yesterday, the ED conducted a raid on one of his close associates, and another close associate of his received an ED summons. No press conference, no post on X. Why is he completely silent?"
Pannu alleged that Majithia had frequently commented on the medical updates of other people and often appeared to speak on behalf of central investigative agencies, including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED.
He further pointed out that Majithia had previously been vocal whenever investigative agencies initiated action against other leaders. However, according to Pannu, the Akali leader has not made any public statement following the latest ED developments involving his close associates.
AAP leader also highlighted that Majithia had neither addressed a press conference nor shared any post on X in response to the raids and summons.
Questioning the contrast between Majithia's earlier public comments on investigative agencies and his current silence, Pannu sought an explanation from the Akali leader over his lack of response.
