Chandigarh : Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh today asked Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal to tender an unconditional apology to the tens of thousands of people who attended Sarbat Khalsa and whom he had earlier termed “anti-national”.
“By mindless utterance borne out of frustration you have tried to brand an entire community anti-national for which you must apologise,” he told Sukhbir.
“What about the damage you have caused to Punjab and Punjabis’ pride and prestige nationally and internationally by terming a religious gathering as anti-national just because they showed anger and resentment against you and your failures?” he asked.
Asserting that Sukhbir and his Chief Minister father Parkash Singh Badal owed an unconditional apology to the people of Punjab, he pointed towards Sukhbir’s U-turn and ‘admission’ in the statement issued today where he said Sarbat Khalsa “gathering was definitely not anti-national”. He said: "You and your father are trying to redefine the meaning of anti-national by terming a protest against your government anti-national.”
