A Congress legislator claimed on Wednesday that Punjab minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa had threatened cabinet colleague Charanjit Singh Channi, who had a showdown with the chief secretary last week.
Bajwa had allegedly threatened Channi when the former asked him to bury the hatchet with Chief Secretary Karan Avtar Singh, according to Bhoa constituency MLA Joginder Pal.
Bajwa approached Channi, a Dalit legislator, following the showdown last week, Pal said, adding that he met Channi at his residence where he told him about meeting with Bajwa.
"Channi told me that Bajwa threatened him with the reopening of some old complaint against him," Pal said. "It's not right on the part of Bajwa as he is a senior minister."
