To which Shah replied that if all the Punjab MPs together submit a written request, he will immediately order a CBI inquiry.Bhullar claims ‘he is surrendering’In a Facebook post before the arrest, Bhullar claimed that he has complete faith in the judiciary and, hence, has “surrendered”.“Every decision in my life has been guided by their welfare and by the path of truth. But today, the rumours being spread—that I have absconded—are not true. I have never been someone who runs away from the truth,” said Bhullar.“I have complete faith in the law of the country and unwavering trust in the justice system. I have not run anywhere; I am here in my Punjab. With faith in truth and justice, I am voluntarily surrendering myself in Mandi Gobindgarh,” he added.Reacting to the former minister's arrest, state chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann wrote on X: “For me, the entire Punjab is one family. If anyone in Punjab violates the law, strict action will be taken against them.”He added, “No matter what position they hold or whether they are my relative or someone influential.. Protecting anyone is not our party's agenda.. There is a strict prohibition on cash and favors.” Union minister of state Ravneet Singh Bittu has also reacted to the incident, while talking to reporters outside parliament, he said, “This incident was caused by Laljit Bhullar, a cabinet minister in Punjab who is also the Transport Minister and Jail Minister. He pressured a District Magistrate (DM), who is the District Manager, to award an FCI tender in the name of his father, Jagdeep Singh.”(With inputs from HT correspondent)
