CAPT LAMBASTS BADALS FOR TREATING EX-SERVICEMEN AS ‘POLITICAL PAWNS’

CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh has accused the Badals of ill-treating ex-servicemen. He was reacting to reports that ex-servicemen were tricked to reach chief minister Parkash Singh Badal’s rally at Amrtisar’s Ranjit Avenue on Sunday. “The Badals have a history of illtreating ex-servicemen and the families of martyrs,” he said. The ex-servicemen had reportedly been told that they were being escorted to the memorial inauguration, but to their shock they were taken to the venue of the Badal rally.
