Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today accused the then Prime Minister of India Mrs. Indira Gandhi for seeking assistance and strategic plan from Britishers to carry out a well-planned devastating attack on pivot of Sikhism Darbar Sahib Amritsar in 1984.Describing this extremely unfortunate and shameful act, Mr. Badal accompanied by SAD Secretary General and Rajya Sabha Member, Mr. Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa said revelations in this regard had proven that Congress was desperate to devastate the religious and holiest shrine of Sikhism at the cost of sacrificing the internal security of nation. He said "we could gauge the credentials of Congress from the approach adopted by Mrs. Indira Gandhi since our great martyrs and freedom fighters fought a relentless freedom struggle against slavery and atrocities inflicted upon Indians by the Britishers but it was very unfortunate that then Congress PM sought assistance from Britishers to attack the sacred Golden Temple in '84.
Talking to media persons Mr. Badal said that Aam Aadmi Party has failed badly in its prelim tests by deviating from its election manifesto and predicted that it could not succeed in its political future. He said on the first day of AAP's much publicized Janata Darbar, its party chief failed completely and ran away without addressing the public grievances and even withdraw his decision to hold Janata Darbar in future. Mr. Badal said that there would be no affect of AAP in Punjab as it came to power in Delhi due to bad governance of Congress Party.Coming down heavily on PPCC Chief Mr. Partap Singh Bajwa, the Deputy CM described him a biggest 'rogue' since Bajwa family had been indulged in smuggling, drug peddling, and land grabbing. Mr. Badal reminded Congress chief not to have daydreams to rule Punjab having masters in smuggling, drug peddling and land grabbing and he should reconcile the fact that Congress could not come to power in Punjab for next three decades.
