SAD president Sukhbir Badal on Monday asked the Election Commission to take note of AAP’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal’s night stay at the residence of a “terrorist” in Moga “immediately”.

Sukhbir, in a statement, said that the night stay by Kejriwal at the residence of Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) general Gurinder Singh alias Jaswinder Singh Ghali had vitiated the poll atmosphere in Punjab and given a fillip to radical

forces. “This kind of conduct must be snubbed immediately,” he said.

He said that Kejriwal had a moral responsibility to tell Punjabis why he had stayed at the residence of a dreaded militant in Moga two days back. “Not only did you stay at the residence of the KCF terrorist but also held a meeting with radical elements besides making calls to foreign countries,” he said.

“Punjabis had a right to know why Kejriwal was holding repeated meetings with extremist elements...Earlier you met Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) front organization Akhand Kirtani Jatha members, including RP Singh, at Mohali. You have also held meetings with radical elements who organised a separatist conclave more than one year back,” he said.

Sukhbir said that all these incidents proved that Kejriwal was hand in glove with radical elements. It also proved that AAP convener was ready to go to any extent to get a few votes, even compromise the unity and integrity of the country, he said.

Maintaining that it was impossible to believe that AAP’s Moga leadership did not know that they were putting up Kejriwal in a terrorist’s house, he said that it was, in fact, “deliberate” as they wanted to send a signal to the radical elements that it “was one with them”.

“This kind of politics is very dangerous for Punjab,” he warned, adding that Gurinder was involved in triggering off a bomb in Mandi Mustafa locality of Baghapurana in which a priest was killed.
