Capt: Sukhbir is mistaken that Jalalabad is in his pocket
FEROZEPUR:Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh has warned Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal that his misconception that the Jalalabad constituency was in his pocket would be by the results.
Amarinder, who held a roadshow in favour of Congress candidate from the constituency, Raminder Awla, added, “The Akali leader’s arrogance will plunge his party into ignominy once again in these by-elections. Sukhbir’s misconception that he has the people of Jalalabad in his pocket will soon be put to rest.” Lashing out at Sukhbir over his criticism of the state government for pleading for the release of police personnel languishing in prisons for alleged human rights violations during the militancy period, Amarinder added, “Seeking their release on humanitarian grounds is in line with Guru Nanak’s philosophy of compassion and benevolence. You cannot expect Sukhbir to understand compassion or humanitarianism.”
“I am confident that Awla and the party will fulfil every promise that is made to the people of the constituency,” he said. Besides Awla, party leaders Asha Kumari, Sunil Jakhar, Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi, Raja Warring and Sadhu Singh Dharamsot accompanied the CM during the roadshow. Others who joined the roadshow were Dhamrambir Agnihotri, Sukhpal Bhullar, Karan Kaur Brar and Daman Thind Bajwa.
On Bargari sacrilege cases, he added, “Sukhbir tried hard to ensure that the cases were handed back to the CBI. Now, my government will expose the truth at all cost.”
