Meanwhile, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Thursday launched a scathing attack against the AAP and CM Mann saying that the party is suppressing the real reason ae routine checkup do not take 24 hours.
“CM Bhagwant Mann was admitted to Fortis Hospital… Why has he been admitted? No information has been given by the government. He is on a constitutional post, it is a border state and you are not giving information to people. This is happening continuously, a few days ago he was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Delhi. I think the situation is serious and worrying. AAP party said it is a routine checkup. It is not a routine checkup because a routine checkup does not take 24 hours. The real reason is being suppressed”, said Bikram Singh Majithia.
“I wish him well but unfortunately, the case is of excessive drinking and due to this his liver has got damaged. He is suffering from liver cirrhosis and doctors have asked him not to drink… He has fainted 2-3 times and now he has been admitted to Fortis. Punjab DGP, Chief Secretary, Health Minister and Fortis Hospital should tell the truth to the people… You are going on the same path that happened in Tamil Nadu, so keep everything transparent to avoid it. The matter is serious…” he added. (ANI)
