Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday took a jibe at the ‘Sikhs for Justice’ over its complaint against the AAP’s political programmes in Canada, months after the party leaders had already addressed meetings there.

“It is like locking the stable door after horse has bolted”, he remarked, as AAP leaders had already held political rallies in Canada and nobody, including SFJ, had complained against them that time.

“This is just an afterthought by the anti-India group SFJ as I had questioned its silence against AAP holding similar functions in the past”, Capt Amarinder pointed out in a statement issued here. The PCC president said, the SFJ was playing into the hands of those who were opposed to his programmes in the US and Canada, like the AAP, and after being exposed, had now filed a token complaint against the party’s programmes there. “What is the point in filing a complaint when the AAP leaders have already held several public meetings last year and this yearIJ” he asked, while remarking, “the SFJ was now trying to take a high moral ground and project itself to be a neutral organisation”. Capt Amarinder said, the SFJ complaint needed to be viewed in the context of the vicious and malicious propaganda launched by the vested interests and anti-Punjab and anti-India forces on the social media against his US and Canada visit. “But I am really thankful to these people as they have exposed themselves and the Punjabis across the globe have understood their machinations in trying to prevent me from meeting my fellow Punjabis in North America”, he said, while adding, “but let me guarantee you that I will definitely return to Canada sooner than later after sorting out the baseless complaint they have filed against my visit”.
