Miffed with SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar for ‘not doing enough’ for the riot victims, Surinder Singh, prime witness in a case against Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, today filed his papers from the Ludhiana West constituency here.
He will fight against Makkar from the constituency. Surinder Singh (60) is backed by the Danga Peerat Welfare Society known for being close to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
‘‘I am not against Badal. He has done a lot for us. But I am against his presidential candidate. Makkar misbehaved with us during a protest against the government in October last year. He directed the management of a gurdwara in Sector 11 in Chandigarh not to give us even water,’’ alleged Surinder Singh, after filing his papers.
