Stop political drama, Capt tells Sukhbir

- HT Correspond­ent

CHANDIGARH : As UK joined the ranks of major countries that have openly rejected the SFJ’S ‘Referendum 2020’, chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday called upon SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal to open his eyes to the secessioni­st threat of anti-indian forces instead of indulging in political theatrics over the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act or UAPA, which their own government had used extensivel­y during their tenure.

Welcoming UK’S statement on ‘Referendum 2020’, Amarinder expressed surprise that Sukhbir continues to turn a blind eye to the threat posed by Pakistanba­cked Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), and other terrorist and radical forces working to destabilis­e India, particular­ly Punjab. “Can’t he (Sukhbir) see that the arrests under the UAPA, which he is opposing, are part of the state’s strategy to combat this threat?” he questioned.
