Capt Amarinder describes Badal number one enemy of Punjab

PHAGWARA : Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh today asked the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal not to rest on self laurels over Punjab Governor being reappointed Chandigarh administrator and instead assert the state’s complete claim over Chandigarh, with the central government. Capt Amarinder also asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to explain the charges of his NGO ‘Parivartan’ having been funded by the Ford Foundation and the CIA.
“The way Mr Badal is reacting over the central government’s decision to reverse the appointment of separate Administrator seems he has completely forgotten that Chandigarh actually and completely belongs to Punjab”, he told reporters during the sidelines of the ‘Halqe vich Captain’ programme here today. He said, there cannot be a better and more conducive situation for Mr Badal as there is an NDA government at the centre of which the Akalis are partners and a friendly BJP government in Haryana. “If he does not get it done now, it means he was never serious about Punjab’s claims over Chandigarh”, he remarked. Asked to comment on Mr Badal’s statement that 2017 election will be the fight between pro-and anti Punjab forces, the PCC president remarked, “there cannot be a greater enemy of Punjab than Mr Badal”. He said, the way Badals had looted and robbed the state for ten years qualifies them for the title of being the enemy number one of Punjab.
