Chandigarh: Reacting on Show-cause notice issued to his wife and MP Preneet Kaur for ‘anti-party’ activities, former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on Friday targeted Congress leader Harish Choudhary, accusing him of turning the current chief minister into a “rubber stamp”.

He also junked accusations that he was in cahoots with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Prime Minister when he occupied the post.

Captain said he does not owe any explanation to a legislator “sacked” as a minister in Rajasthan.

Choudhary was recently appointed as the incharge of Punjab affairs at the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) and had resigned as a minister in Rajasthan.

“Had I had any understanding with the prime minister or the BJP when I was the chief minister, I would not have supported the farmers’ agitation and demanded repealing of the agriculture laws and passed a law in the Vidhan Sabha against these,” he said in a statement
