SAD Leaders Meet Punjab Governor Over Majithia's Safety Concerns
A delegation from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) met with Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Thursday. They raised serious issues about the safety of party leader Bikram Singh Majithia in jail.
Threats to Majithia's Life Highlighted
The SAD members informed the Governor about potential threats to Majithia's life. They expressed deep concern over his security inside the prison. The delegation stressed the need for immediate action to ensure his protection.
Majithia is currently lodged in jail on drug-related charges. The SAD leaders argued that his safety is paramount. They urged the Governor to intervene and address these security lapses.
Questioning CCTV Cameras Facing Washrooms
Another key issue raised was the installation of CCTV cameras. The SAD delegation pointed out cameras positioned directly facing washrooms in the jail. They questioned the rationale behind this placement.
Such camera angles could violate privacy norms, the leaders asserted. They demanded an explanation from jail authorities. The delegation called for a review of surveillance practices to respect inmates' dignity.
Governor's Response Awaited
Governor Purohit listened to the SAD's concerns attentively. He assured the delegation that he would look into the matter. The Governor promised to take appropriate steps after reviewing the situation.
The SAD leaders left the meeting hopeful for swift action. They emphasized that justice must not compromise basic human rights. The party plans to follow up on these issues in the coming days.
This meeting underscores ongoing tensions in Punjab's political landscape. Safety and privacy in jails remain critical topics for public discourse.
