‘Capt reproducing Indira’s narrative’

SAD CHIEF SUKHBIR BADAL WAS REACTING TO CM’S DEFENCE TO USE OF UAPA

CHANDIGARH: SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Wednesday described CM Captain Amarinder Singh’s reaction on the issue of the misuse the UAPA as “an archival reproduction of the old Indira Gandhi narrative”.

“Every Sikh can recall how Indira Gandhi had used exactly these words to justify the rolling of tanks into the holiest of the holy Sikh shrine Harmander Sahib leading to the destruction of the sacred Shri Akal Takht Sahib... the Congress mind-set that led to the 15-year-long tragedy of Punjab remains the same?,” said Sukhbir.

Referring to Amarinder’s references to national security and integrity while defending use of UAPA, Badal said, “The brave and patriotic Sikh masses need no lessons in nationalism or patriotism from opportunistic Sikh Congress leaders. The only contribution of Congress leaders has been to paint every single member of this brave and patriotic community as anti-national. Amarinder has started singing the same dangerous tune again.”
