CHANDIGARH: Slamming AAP Punjab president Bhagwant Mann, chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday said it is unfortunat­e that people like him who had no knowledge about the Constituti­on and legislativ­e procedures were in politics and were making illogical statements with the motive of misleading the people.

The CM said the state government had already finalised requisite petitions for challengin­g the central Acts and would do so at an opportune time on the advice of legal experts.

“Just like his bosses, Mann too has mastered the art of lying and deception but while doing so he has exposed his incompeten­ce as a parliament­arian by making frivolous statements on matters pertaining to the Constituti­on and Legislativ­e Procedures”, said Amarinder while referring to AAP leader’s claims of a collusion between the Chief Minister and the Governor over sending the agricultur­e laws, passed unanimousl­y in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha to negate the black farm laws imposed on the country by the NDA led government, to the President.

“You really have no knowledge of how Legislativ­e work is done”, said the Chief Minister while advising Mann not to shoot his mouth off on matters of such vital importance.

“If you think that you can mislead the people of Punjab by your lies, you are mistaken, as every Punjabi has seen through your webs of deceit,” saidAmarin­der. The chief minister said that while his government’s stand on the centre’s black farm laws had been consistent from day one, both AAP and Shiromani Akali Dal had been doing flip flops over it.
