Bathinda : PPCC president Partap Singh Bajwa said the Congress would oppose BJP Prime Minister candidate Narendra Modi’s rally in the state, scheduled for December 21.
Addressing a protest rally in Bathinda against the imposition of property tax in the state today, he said: “The people of Punjab should not allow a politician like Modi to enter their state. We should not forget that Modi’s government has been giving a tough time to Sikh farmers settled in Gujarat.” He said he was shocked at Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal bestowing the title of “sardar” on Modi. He warned that the PPCC would use all its might to stop Modi’s entry into the state
The PPCC chief said the Congress would field a strong candidate from Bathinda against sitting MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal in the Lok Sabha elections.
He demanded an impartial inquiry into the alleged involvement of SAD leaders in the international drug racket. He said since SAD leader Maninder Singh Bittu Aulakh was arrested in the case, a central agency like the CBI or the Narcotics Control Board should pursue the case.
