Chandigarh : A local court today issued dasti notices to Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal and the Punjab Chief Secretary on a petition seeking directions to stop preparations for a blueprint for Bluestar Memorial in Amritsar.
The court of the Civil Judge issued notices for October 15.
“The establishment of any sort of memorial in the memory of Operation Bluestar is not in the interest of the people of Punjab. Rather, it will hit peace and tranquility and will work as sprinkling salt on the wounds of the people of Punjab who have suffered a lot during militancy,” reads the petition.
The petition also raises questions on the purpose of raising such a memorial. “How will the State of Punjab be the beneficiary from this memorial and what does the Punjab Chief Minister want to justify through this memorial?”, the petition says.
