Amritsar : Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh, condemning the blast across the border at Wagah, today said it was high time that India and Pakistan cooperated with each other to fight terrorism. He hoped that Pakistan was not providing protection to rogue elements.
Addressing a public meeting at Konewala village in Ajnala, he said: “India and Pakistan must jointly fight the scourge of terrorism.” Referring to the problem of recurrent floods in the area, Amarinder Singh said he would raise the issue with the Centre and demand that a ‘dhusi’ bundh be erected.
Lashing out at the SAD-BJP government, he alleged that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had given up governance and was busy “humouring” BJP leaders to save his government.
“Worried about saving his business interests, he has been tolerating every kind of insult to him,” he said.
Condemning the anti-drug drive, Amarinder Singh alleged that the state government had spared the big fish. On the problems faced by border farmers, he said he would ask the Centre to increase the farming hours. He demanded ownership rights for the farmers who had been cultivating reclaimed river land for over five decades. Amarinder Singh was accompanied by Harpartap Ajnala and Sukhjinder Randhawa.
