Punjab BJP chief Vijay Sampla today lashed out at Capt. Amarinder Singh over his latest remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress chief had criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for trying his hand at the charkha in Ludhiana. Condemning Captain’s statement, Sampla said, “Congress leaders are making a fun of their party’s ideology and have disgraced the values of Mahatma Gandhi. I really feel sorry for Capt. Amarinder Singh and his associates. Captain’s remarks reflect his aging mind. By stating that weaving a charkha signified backwardness, the Congress leaders have disrespected the ideology which the party leadership has been laying claim on since decades”.Sampla said that Capt. Amarinder Singh had dishonoured thousands of patriots who saw Mahatma’s charkha as a symbol of sacrifice. He said that Captain’s statement ridiculed thousands of those who earn their livelihood by weaving a charkha and contribute towards nation’s economic growth.“Capt. Amarinder’s remarks on our PM echo his retrograde mindset as he has parted ways with Mahatma’s ideology. What PM Modi has done by weaving a charkha is, that he has tried to bring back the glorious days of the charka and given a lease of life to the withering craft. He has made the last man standing, a party to nation’s progress, which the previous Congress governments have turned a blind eye to since decades”, added Sampla.
