Chandigarh: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh today took a dig at the Aam Aadmi Party for its protest in Delhi over the arrest of its legislator, saying they always "cry wolf" for its "own faults".
Condemning party's "agitating and blackmailing" tactics, the former Punjab chief minister said it was a classic case of "double standards and political blackmail", which the AAP is best known for.
"Why not have faith in courts?" Mr Singh asked the party.
Mr Singh, in a statement in Chandigarh, said the AAP is now accusing the Central government of having imposed "emergency" in Delhi and resorting to the political vendetta, just because some of its legislators have been caught on the wrong foot, while the same AAP strongly defended the Enforcement Directorate notice to his son Raninder Singh, which, otherwise, was out of sheer political vendetta.
The sitting Lok Sabha member from Amritsar asked the AAP as why it did not wait for the courts to decide on the matter.
