Simarjeet Bain informed reporters, “There’s no family in the world where brothers don’t separate their businesses. We also separated. But it doesn’t mean I am dishonest. I was an MLA twice.

I wanted the family matters to be settled within the four walls of the house.”

“I am the founder of Bains Alloys. I have made that company with my sweat and blood. I have not taken it from anyone by force. It was all settled amicably, but later, Paramjit started objecting to the agreement. He went to the court, but did not get relief. He even went to the police, but I kept quiet. Later, I even told him that if he did not agree to the written settlement, we could tear it away. I also offered him that both our sons (Pamma’s son Jagjot and Bains’s son Ajaypreet) can run the company together, but he did not agree. What more could I have said or done?” Bains informed the media.
“Even my political opponents know that I have never been dishonest. Even now, I am ready to end this dispute. Some people who saw Simarjeet and Pamma working together for over 25 years are now watching a tamasha (spectacle) due to this dispute. Even as my nephew opened fire, I would still say Pamma is my brother, and Jagjot is like my son Ajaypreet. Children commit mistakes, and my nephew made one by opening fire, but then the elders also forgive them. I have a big heart. If FIRs are registered, they are cancelled too,” Bains added.
