MLA Amarinder Singh Raja Warring (sixth from right) and Ludhiana MP Ravneet Singh Bittu (seventh from right) along with local Congress leadership in Ludhiana on Sunday.
He challenged the state and central government to punish Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar and stated that both the governments could have provided proofs in the courts if they wanted.
“If the SAD government was serious in punishing the accused in 1984 riots, they could have done it easily with the help of their ally, BJP that leads central government. It is the unwillingness of SAD government in not punishing the culprits of anti-Sikh riots and only playing politics with the issue,” said Warring.
Warring had come to Ludhiana to take part in a Youth Congress meeting arranged by district chief Rajiv Raja.
Talking about drugs menace in the state, Warring held state government as well as youth of the state responsible for it. “If the state government is 80 per cent responsible for the drug menace in Punjab, it is youth that is 20 per cent responsible. If the youth takes a stand against drugs, the menace could be wiped off within few days,” he said.
Alleging Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of making false promises, Warring claimed that the party would not be able to bag enough seats to make its government, “let alone 25 lakh jobs promised by AAP,” he said.
Warring claimed that only Congress party had worked for the welfare of farmers of Punjab and only the party could do away with the heavy debt on farmers.
