News Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh):Maharishi Valmiki is showing path of
righteousness even today. The Ramayan written by him is a unique
source of true knowledge for world. Gill continues
his mass contact programme in Moga
Moga, October 10 The roadshow organized by his cousin Dr Micky Gill on October 2 to welcome him after his retirement was not so impressive with none of the local Akali leaders turning by his side, which might have forced the former cop to move out in the villages, making his own efforts, rather than depending on his near and dear ones. Sources close to Gill revealed that during the past one week, he has visited more than ten villages, besides attending all the religious functions during the festival season in the town. Today, he led the 'shobha yatra' of the Valmikis after hosting lunch for a section of the local media at his cousin's house. In the morning, he heard the grievances of the local people at his residence. As per the details available, last week, he visited the Droli Bhai village and met the local people, mostly Akalis, who promised to vote for him in the elections even as the DGP did not utter even a single word on whether he would contest the elections or not. He just says 'Mera khyal rakheo' to the people wherever he goes. His programme was organized by one Bittu and Dharam Singh, a former panch in the village. At Ghal Kalan village, he was welcomed by Jaswant Raja, a youth Akali leader, along with the other youth Akali leaders. At Dadahoor village, a local resident, Sher Singh, organized a gathering for him in the village gurudwara where he shared a cup of tea with them. He patiently listened to the grievances of the people and assured them of all possible help. The people promised to vote in his favour. At Jhandeana village, the local Akali worker Gurlabh Singh organized the show for him, which did not attract too many people. At Saleena village, he met a Dera head Gurjant Singh and after that, went to the house of former DIG (Jails) Amrik Singh him whose son Gursharanveer Singh 'Paggy' is a local Congress leader. There could have been a hidden message in the visit but Amrik Singh termed it as purely a 'personal' visit saying that they both were posted at Ferozepur in the 1980s and are friends since then. The former DGP was then commandant in the BSF while Amrik Singh was posted in the Central Jail at Ferozepur. On Saturday evening, Gill kept a date with his firm supporter and friend Parveen Garg at his pharmacy college where a cultural event was organized by the students. Interestingly, the chairman of the District Planning Board and the newly-elected SGPC member Tarsem Singh Rattian, District Magistrate Ashok Singla, head priest of the local Geeta Bhawan temple and a renowned lawyer Bodh Raj Majithia were seen sitting along with him. Late that night, he attended two 'jagratas' held in the town by the local residents. Sources in the state intelligence, who are keeping a watch on every movement of the former cop, revealed that the former DGP is also meeting people who were the supporters of his father, former MLA late Nachattar Singh Gill, in the villages and the town to revive his family's old contacts. His schedule is 'strategically' so well planned that he does not miss even a single programme chalked out in advance by his supporters. He is punctual and tries his best to reach on time. Keeping in view all these activities, it appears that Paramdeep
Singh Gill is flexing his muscles to contest the assembly
elections from here.
