Amritsar : Senior Congress leader and party candidate from Amritsar Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday asked the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to clarify his stand on three crucial and contentious issues in the BJP election manifesto released in Delhi, this morning.
Reacting to the BJP manifesto, Capt Amarinder said people of Punjab would like to know from Badal his stand on Uniform Civil Code, abrogation of the Article 370 and construction of a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya as announced by the BJP in its election manifesto.
He asked Jaitely to specify whether he will advocate these issues listed in his party’s manifesto in Punjab also?
Capt Amarinder said he was asking these questions specifically to Badal since he has always been advocating a separate personal law for the Sikhs, is strongly opposed to any move to abrogate Article 370 as he advocates greater autonomy for the states and has not been in favour of constructing a temple at the dispute site.
Former Chief Minister said the BJP had betrayed its real communal and sectarian instincts in the manifesto itself and the fake facade of development it was trying to project over communalism and Hindutva had already started wearing off.
