CHANDIGARH: Opposing the Union government’s decision to release former Sikh terrorist Waryam Singh, serving life term under TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Prevention Act) from Bareilly Central Jail, Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to clarify the policy of his government towards terrorism.
In a statement, he said the Modi government had overlooked the grim tragedy that took thousands of innocent lives in Punjab for more than a decade and it was people like Waryam who were responsible for it. He said the Congress had always fought against terrorism and would continue to do so. He reminded that it was former prime minister Indira Gandhi who sacrificed her life for the unity and integrity of the country.
Reacting to the deadlock between the protesting farmers and the state government, Bajwa said at a time when farmers were committing suicides every day, Badal and his government had adopted an attitude of criminal indifference towards them who had been ruined, not due to the natural calamity, but by the nexus between the ruling political class and the pesticide dealers.
