Kanwaljit’s daughter vents pain in blog

Zirakpur, February 26
Manpreet Kaur Dolly, daughter of the late Capt Kanwaljit Singh, has expressed anguish over the death of her father in her blog dollydhillon.wordpress.com.

She has asserted that there is no sense of justice in Punjab though a year has passed since the death of her father.

He could have been saved had he been taken to a good hospital at Mohali, she claimed. She expressed shock over the truck drivers’ release from jail four or five days after the fatal accident.

The writing of the blog coincided with the first death anniversary of Capt Kanwaljit Singh. “If a VIP is not cared for, what about the common man,” she wrote.

Through her blog, she wanted to give a message to the common man. “Since my father’s death, I have been exposed to politics. It is a task to get to the administration and leaders,” she wrote.

She remembered every word uttered by her father. Youngest of the siblings, her father had never refused her anything. She mentioned an incident where she wanted to go to the UK with him.

Her passport had expired, but it was renewed in no time, she wrote. The UK embassy in New Delhi was kept open beyond the scheduled closing time for her, she added.
