Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Punjab today described Congress led UPA government as the weakest government since independence that has left no stone unturned to compromise nation’s security to even small island countries like Malpes. Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of sports awards function here today, Mr. Badal who is also President of Shiromani Akali Dal said that Congress led UPA government was the most indecisive government even on the sensitive issues like Chinese intrusion and beating up of Indian national Sarabjit in Lahore Jail. He said that he was surprised that this government was sleeping over reports of intrusion till Chinese entered and camped 19Kms inside the Indian Territory. ‘The fact is no neighbor including a tiny Island like Malpes was scared of India these days as our indecisiveness was our hallmark’.
Charging Congress led UPA government to perform its legitimate duty to pursue the case of Sarabjit effectively and forcefully with Pakistan government, Mr. Badal said that when whole country and all state governments were supporting them on this issue he could not understand the lethargy of Union government on this critical issue. Blaming Congress led UPA government for performing its duty to safeguard the territorial sovereignty of the country, Mr. Badal said that a country that cannot protect its territory, must go at the earliest. He said that when all parties are pressurizing Congress led UPA government to take strong and effective action against mechanization of China, why our Prime Minister was describing it just localized issue.
Expressing concern over India’s souring ties with all neighbors, he said that India must display its might to regain its stature otherwise even countries like Malpes were not taking us seriously. Describing the incident of Sarabjit as most unfortunate, Mr. Badal said that Government of India must send a high level team to probe the issue and get the truth.
