Bittu: Punjab Cong to oppose visit of Kejriwal to Punjab

Published on: 

Punjab Congress will not allow AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to visit Punjab if the party does not change its agenda for

Punjab for coming Assembly elections, party MP Ravnit Singh Bittu said on Thursday.

Reacting sharply to the recent agenda of AAP, Bittu, MP from ludhiana, said Kejriwal should not play with fire by instigating the sentiments of the people of the state. "This is a very dangerous style of politics being done by AAP. This is a very sensitive state and Punjab has already paid very big price for playing with the emotions of the people," he said.

Bittu said, "Punjab congress will not allow him to enter Punjab if AAP does not divert himself from this anti- national agenda. I will lead the protest to stop him along with the 35000 families of those who are affected by terrorism. His cavalcade wont be allowed to enter either from Rajpura or Shambhu," the Congress MP added.

Kejriwal is likely to visit Punjab from February 20 for about 5 days during which he will meet the families of farmers who committed suicide due to debt.

"Kejriwal is expected to visit Punjab on February 20 and will be in the state for 4-5 days," Aam Aadmi Party's national organisation-building head, Durgesh Pathak said.

"He will visit villages and districts of the state and meet families of debt-ridden farmers who have ended their lives. Kejriwal will also meet the families which are victims of drug menace," senior AAP leader and in-charge of Punjab Affairs, Sanjay Singh said.
