After Pushing Punjab Youth Into Furnace Of Terrorism, Akali Dal Again Building Ties With Gangsters: AAP

Chandigarh: Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Chief Spokesperson of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab and MLA from the Ajnala constituency, raised serious questions over the participation of Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami, and other Akali leaders in wedding functions of gangsters’ families. He said that while Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s government is fighting a major battle against gangsterism and the drug mafia, the Akali Dal is building relationships with gangsters.

What did Dhaliwal say?

MLA Dhaliwal displayed photographs showing the presence of Sukhbir Singh Badal, Virsa Singh Valtoha, Ganieve Kaur Majithia, Ravinder Singh Brahmpura, and SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami at the wedding ceremony of the sister of Amritpal Singh Bath in Amritsar. He said these photographs raise serious questions about the intentions and priorities of the Badal-led Akali Dal. He said this participation shows that when the Mann government wants to eliminate gangsters, the Akali Dal is nurturing gangsters and building relationships with their families.

Dhaliwal said that on one hand Sukhbir Badal issues statements every second or third day saying that gangsterism is not ending. On the other hand, by attending weddings of gangsters’ families, Sukhbir Badal is proving that his political battle rests on the shoulders of gangsters and that he wants to come to power in Punjab by using gangsters.

What did Dhaliwal say about the Akali Dal?

The AAP leader said that earlier the Akali Dal had pushed Punjab’s youth into the furnace of terrorism. In the same way today, the Akali Dal wants to fulfill its lust for power by turning Punjab’s youth into gangsters. He said that while Congress was responsible for that dark period, the Akali Dal was equally responsible.

Appealing to Punjabis, Dhaliwal said that people should remain cautious and vigilant of these individuals. Earlier too, Congress and the Akalis had pushed Punjab into the furnace of fire, and now once again they are spoiling Punjab’s atmosphere by nurturing gangsters.

MLA Dhaliwal said that no matter what these people do, the Aam Aadmi Party government’s promise is that gangsterism and the drug mafia will definitely be eliminated from Punjab.
