Amid row over self-proclaimed Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh’s activities in Punjab, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday said the Opposition is playing with fire by trying to achieve the political benefits by fanning communal sentiments in the state.
In a statement, the CM said that he was having information at every moment as they are keeping a strict vigil over everything unfolding in the state. He said it is shameful that in absence of any issue against the state government, these political parties stoop too low by indulging in such cheap tantrums.

The CM, however, said the nefarious designs of these parties will never succeed. He said Punjab is the land of great Gurus, saints, seers and prophets who have shown us the way of communal harmony, peace and brotherhood.

Accusing the Opposition parties of pursuing divisive politics, Mann said the dream of Opposition parties to get political dividends by fanning communal sentiments will never succeed.
Mann said Punjabis have always practiced the ethos of peace and brotherhood in the society for the progress and prosperity of the state.
He said the state government is committed to preserving the hard earned peace of the state. He assured the three crore Punjabis that no one will be allowed to cast a malicious eye on the peace, progress and prosperity of the state.
Mann said the state government is keeping a strict vigil over the situation and no one will be allowed to disturb peace and amity in the state.
