Bittu along with hundreds of the congress workers of Ludhiana today assembled in front of the Commissioner of Police office Ludhiana, where they were stopped by the police. Minor scuffle also took place between the congress workers and the police deployed at the gate of CP office. Later they were arrested and sent to judicial custody after being produced in the court, next date of hearing of this case will be on 19th March.

Earlier during the protest Ravneet Singh Bittu addressed the Congress workers and said, “If FIR can be registered against me and other senior leadership of the Ludhiana congress for putting lock at the gate of Corporation office, then the same law is applicable on the chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann who also asked the Speaker of the Punjab assembly to lock it. Even the Lock was brought in the Vidhan Sabha premises by the Chief Minister himself which is complete violation of the constitution”

Bittu also said “The assembly is governed by some rules but the Chief Minister, who is the home minister of the state, has violated them. We only went to take the issues of the Public at the corporation zone A office but false fabricated FIR on the statement of watchman who was not even present their, was registered against me and other congress leaders, workers. Why the Punjab police is not registering the FIR against the Chief Minister.

Strongly advocating the cause of Public Grievances at the Government Offices, Bittu said that his spree to visit the Government offices will continue and where ever any laxity in the work will be found we will again put the lock at that office.
