Talwandi Sabo : Strongly condemning the “murderous attack” on the Congress candidate Harminder Singh Jassi in Raman Mandi on Thursday, the PPCC president Partap Singh Bajwa asserted that despite all excesses and violence, the Congress would retain this seat with a comfortable margin.
Bajwa alleged the Akali Dal activists opened fire in Raman Mandi to create scare in Congress dominated area and said such terror tactics would prove to be counter-productive. He alleged that Talwandi Sabo was the seat of Takht Damdama Sahib but the Akali Dal had desecrated this sacred land by large scale distribution of drugs to lure the voters.
He said the Akali activists openly indulged in purchase of votes on a large scale.
Moreover, the Akali leaders from outside the constituency blatantly violated the directive of the Election Commission to leave the area after the end of campaigning. However, they were seen roaming around freely and pressurising the voters.
