Deputy Chief Minister and SAD president Sukhbir Badal said that the former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder, in league with hardliners and pro-Khalistan elements, was trying to disturb hard-earned peace in the State, but the Akali-BJP Government would not allow such designs to succeed.
launching all-out attack on communalism and elements with nefarious designs, he said that such forces are out to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere of the State.
“These anti-Punjab and anti-national forces has no religion but only one goal which is to destabilise the State. These elements
having religious communalism as their sole agenda, have ruined countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Iran,” said Sukhbir.
Severely criticising the Congress, he said that the party had aligned with extremist forces only for the sake of vote-bank politics. “The infighting among Giani Zail Singh and Darbara Singh earlier had destroyed the peaceful atmosphere of Punjab which took the State back by many years and now the same is being replicated in the form Bajwa-Captain rivalry,” he said.
He said that Captain hobnobbed with radicals during his visit abroad and was even honoured by them but when the ministers and leaders of SAD visit foreign countries they face slogans.
