Pledging to keep intact the atmosphere of peace and communal harmony in Punjab, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Thursday said that the Badal family is ready to make any sacrifice for the sake of unity and integrity of Punjab.
Sukhbir, addressing a meeting of the party workers and leaders, appealed to them to participate in Sadbhavna rallies in huge numbers. He said that the anti-panthic forces had conspired to poison the atmosphere of Punjab 35 years back too.
listing out the achievements of the Government, he said that the State Government had carried out all-round rapid development of the State during the past nine years. “But, the anti-panthic and anti-State forces have attacked and vitiated the atmosphere in the previous month which is an ample proof of the jealousy of such rowdy anti-social elements,” he said.
Coming with heavy hand on the Congress party, he said that these forces including Congress have repeatedly attacked and are still attacking the sanctity of Akal Takht and the SGPC, the two most revered institutions of Sikhism.
He said that the SAD is the party of martyrs which has always been in the forefront of the every struggle to maintain peace in the state and is ready even now to make any sacrifice.
Sukhbir, also SAD president, said that the SAD-BJP Government is whole heartedly committed to the socio-economic development of traders, farming community and all the other sections of the society.
