Days after the arrest of pro-Khalistan sympathizer Amritpal Singh, senior BJP leader and the Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday said that the saffron party has never done politics over Punjab’s security.
“Nobody will tolerate any anti-social element that affects the atmosphere in Punjab,” said Thakur while reacting to a question related to ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief Amritpal Singh during his Jalandhar visit.
“Some matters are related to security. BJP has never done politics over the security of Punjab and Punjabis. We spoke of cooperation with Punjab Government and we are doing it. Nobody will tolerate any anti-social element that affects the atmosphere in Punjab,” said Thakur.
After a chase of over a month, Khalistan sympathizer and ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief Amritpal Singh was arrested on April 23 in Moga by Punjab Police. The self-styled preacher was evading Punjab Police since March 18.
According to the officials, the arrest was made by combined efforts of the Punjab Police and Central intelligence agencies. No less than 10 ‘Waris Punjab De’ members, including Amritpal Singh, are lodged in Dibrugarh jail under National Security Act (NSA).
