Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Chandigarh, The Punjab Congress President, Mr Partap Singh Bajwa, today lashed out against the Deputy Chief Minister, Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal, for criticising the Congress Vice-president, Mr Rahul Gandhi, as anti-Sikh, reminding him that it was the Congress that brought in Dr. Manmohan Singh as country’s first Sikh Prime Minister who completed record two terms.
“The problem with Mr Sukhbir Badal is that he wants the people to believe in all the trash that he blurts out. Perhaps at times, he is not even aware himself as to what is he talking about. Had he been in his senses, he would not have made such a baseless and unfounded statement”, he said.
Mr Bajwa told Mr Badal that not only the Congress President Mrs Sonia Gandhi sacrificed the office of the Prime Minister in favour of Dr Manmohan Singh despite the fact that the MPs had favoured her for that office, it was during the Congress regime that a Sikh general took over as the army chief for the first time.
“Can Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal tell how many turbaned people are there in the BJP government headed by Mr Narendra Modi in which his party is a partner. He should also inform the people as to how many tickets were given by the BJP to the Sikhs ,Muslims and Christians in the Lok Sabha election”, he added.
Mr Bajwa said it was apparent that Mr Sukhbir Badal suffered from Rahul Gandhi phobia ever since he took up the issue of drug menace which now threatens the Akali Dal-BJP government in the state. He was on the receiving end on this serious issue even from the BJP, he added.
He called upon the Deputy Chief Minister to brush up his memory otherwise it would fail him at some critical juncture.
