State BJP leaders dismissed the comments as personal views, stating that any decision on alliances will be taken by the party’s central leadership.
Punjab can’t afford another dark era of terror, says former Chief Minister of the state.
The BJP leader said the apology by the said leader served no purpose as it had already caused immense damage to well-meaning people.
This denial from the former Congress leader comes amid reports that the Punjab Congress leadership is in talks with some of its former leaders for their homecoming ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The CM said these ‘experienced politicians’ tried their level best to save the dreaded gangster and ensure a comfortable stay for him in a jail in Punjab.
Hitting out the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the CM said it was evident that the Akalis were trying to divert the farmers’ attention from the Centre to the state, with an eye on the Assembly polls, unmindful of the harm this would cause to the state and to the farmers themselves, he added.
Amarinder said there was no question of trying to split the farmers of Punjab and Haryana, all of whom were equal victims of the apathy of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led governments at the Centre and in the neighbouring state.
Without naming the Punjab CM, Captain Amarinder Singh, the Haryana government said with agricultural growth three times that of Punjab, the state is much ahead of Punjab in agriculture-related government schemes.
The CM's strong warning to Pannu came even as the Punjab Police on Monday registered an FIR against the SFJ leader for issuing an assassination threat against the former through a video posted on SFJ’s Facebook page.
Pointing out that this was not the first time that farmers had been subjected to such ruthlessness at the hands of the Haryana police, Amarinder said it was evident that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Manohar Lal Khattar government had once again deliberately used brute force in a desperate bid to end the farmers’ stir against the draconian farm laws.
