This statement is untrue for the following reasons:
The remaining assertions made in the Facebook Post (which was reproduced in the TikTok post by user “jansenng1”) are based on the false premise that a Committee of Privileges was convened to look into Mr Pritam Singh’s alleged non-disclosure of his knowledge of Ms Khan’s lies.
