Reacting strongly to Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar’s statement on the issue of liquor advertisements being telecast on the lEDs of the heritage street in Amritsar, the Shiromani Akali Dal on Sunday asked him to quote a single instance when such highly objectionable advertisements of liquor were telecast in the SAD-BJP rule.
SAD secretary Daljit Singh Cheema reminded Jakhar that if SAD-BJP Government did not have follow the proper agreement conditions, then similar advertisements would have been telecast on these lEDs during previous regime also.
“Instead of blaming the previous government, the Congress chief should have asked this question to the present Government that why the violation of advertisement contract has taken place nowIJ” he said.
Cheema urged the Congress president that instead of blame-game, the Congress party and the State Government should admit with a larger heart that blunder has taken place due to negligence and Government should take steps to ensure that such things do not happen in future.
