New Delhi: Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa launched a scathing attack on former CM Captain Amarinder Singh alleging that the latter is "scared" whether Aroosa Alam, a Pakistani journalist who has been visiting Captain for several years would be probed for ISI links.

Randhawa, who had come to Delhi to meet Congress' General Secretary in-charge KC Venugopal told media, "Nobody has said anything about enquiry. I think he has heard it wrong. I think he has his own fear. Captain Amarinder Singh has also been Chief Minister. He should know that it will be done by RAW, not by any state Government. I don't know why is he getting scared."

The Deputy CM had even quoted a video by a Pakistani Journalist alleging ISI links of Aroosa Alam and that as the issue is very sensitive, added that it shall be probed.

However, Captain had hit back at the Congress leader saying that he is now resorting to personal attacks. To which, Randhawa had tweeted, "By the way sir, @capt_amarinder why are you so perturbed over probe on Aroosa and ISI links? Who sponsored her visa and everything concerning her will be thoroughly probed. I do hope everyone concerned will co-operate with police in the probe."

After this, Captain Amarinder Singh replied to Randhawa via a tweet, saying, "Perturbed? Have you ever seen me perturbed on any issue in all these years @Sukhjinder_INC? In fact, you seem to be perturbed and confused if your flip flops are any indication. Why don't you make up your mind on this so-called probe against Aroosa Alam."

On this matter, former Akali Dal minister Bikram Majithia had also come to the rescue of Captain Amarinder Singh by saying that he was never targeted when he was a CM. Majithia also alleged that if an investigation would be conducted over Randhawa, he himself would be caught up in scrutiny.

"I never get afraid of any investigation. I am just doing my work. She (Aroosa Alam) is his Chachiji (Aunt), not mine," he replied.

Along with Sukhjinder Randhawa, Punjab Cabinet Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu had also come to Delhi to meet KC Venugopal to discuss some organizational matters.

He told the media that KC Venugopal has given him a message on behalf of the party high command which he will convey to the state leaders.
