CHANDIGARH, February 29: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh today lashed out at the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for trying to blame the Congress workers over attack on him and linking the party with the Akalis.
“Let me make it categorically clear that Congress has nothing to do with the attack”, he said.
“While I condemn the attack, irrespective of who sponsored it, but beware of linking Congress with Akalis”, he told Kejriwal, adding, “I and my party are sufficient enough to deal with you and I don’t need anybody’s support for that, much less the Akalis”.
“Given his history and reputation of sponsoring attacks on himself to seek publicity particularly after failing to draw attention in Punjab it is important to independently probe the people behind the attack on Kejriwal in Ludhiana”, Capt Amarinder said, while adding, the incident was condemnable and unacceptable if it has not been done by the AAP workers themselves to cover up the poor response in Punjab and seek public sympathy.
He also had a dig at Kejriwal for running away and cutting short his visit and giving the excuse of a cabinet meeting in Delhi. “The cabinet meeting is convened by the Chief Minister and what was so urgent about it that he could not do it tomorrow and made good his excuse and exit”, he asked.
