Industry is migrating from Punjab due to it ruling party, since in every unit small or big, the Badals want their share.” Phoolka slammed the decision of the NDA government to make a committee to look into the need to form an SIT) in the 1984 riots, saying: “Kejriwal had already taken the decision.”
