biting barbs

When history of Punjab is written, Parkash Singh Badal will be portrayed as the evil of Punjab. In the 80s, he sabotaged the peace talks and is responsible for Operation Bluestar. You call him bujurg (elderly), I call him bujdil (coward).

CAPT AMARINDER SINGH, chief minister

The desecration of Guru Granth Sahib will always haunt the Badals. They are dealers, not leaders, who even sold the Panth for their ulterior motives. Sukhbir had cut a vote deal with Dera Sacha Sauda chief in lieu of permission to run his films in Punjab. Hun tang diyo enha nu killi te.

NAVJOT SINGH SIDHU, local bodies minister

The Badals were the real culprits and conspirators behind the sacrilege and police firing. Parkash Singh Badal should be stripped of the FakhreQuam honorific bestowed by the Akal Takht jathedar. He deserves the title of ghadaarequam.

SUKHJINDER SINGH RANDHAWA, jails minister

An SIT should be formed to investigate the sacrilege and firing cases in a timebound manner. Special court should be formed to hold daytoday proceedings.

HARPAL SINGH CHEEMA, leader of opposition

This government has set a wrong precedence by issuing showcause notices to officials with the last chief minister’s office. Now if anything happens in this government, the role of Capt Amarinder Singh’s aides will also be probed by police. BIKRAM SINGH MAJITHIA, Akali leader

CM saab, it is time to show you are Captain of Sikh Panth. Otherwise, people will not forgive the Congress too. CHARANJIT SINGH CHANNI, technical education minister

Could Sumedh Singh Saini have the guts to order firing on protesters without then CM’s orders? History will not forgive you (Capt Amarinder Singh) too if you lose a war you have already won. BALJINDER KAUR, AAP MLA

People are not expecting us to do development when it comes to this issue (sacrilege). They want us to act tough against the Badals. The CM had promised action against the culprits and all eyes are on him now. AMRINDER SINGH RAJA WARRING Congress MLA
