Kamal Nath's Exit 'Vindicates' Our Stand On 1984 Riots: Parkash Singh Badal

  • Kamal Nath's Exit 'Vindicates' Our Stand On 1984 Riots: Parkash Singh Badal
A day after Congress leader Kamal Nath gave up the charge of Punjab, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said it "vindicated" the stand of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) that 1984 riots was a "deep rooted conspiracy" of the party to "massacre" innocent Sikhs.
 
"Kamal Nath was reluctant to accept this post because of his guilty conscience in massacre of thousands of innocent Sikhs," Mr Badal claimed on the sidelines of Sangat Darshan programme in Malout Assembly segment in Muktsar today.
 
He alleged Mr Nath could not "muster the courage" to face people of the state who were well aware of his role.
 
Mr Badal also said the people of the state in general and Sikhs in particular would never forgive Mr Nath and other Congress leaders who had "planned and executed these heinous killings" which is a dark spot in the history of Indian polity.
 
The Punjab chief minister termed as a big boon for state the National Civil Aviation Policy 2016, announced yesterday, saying the airport at Adampur, near Jalandhar, would soon become operational.
 
He said the state government had been taking up the issue with government of India, and the NDA government has finally given a "big gift" to state in the form of new policy.
 
 
"The day is not far away when this airport in Doaba region will be operational thereby cherishing the aspirations of our NRI brethren," added Mr Badal.
 
Asked about state Congress chief Amarinder Singh holding press conference in New Delhi, he said these were the "tactics" of Lok Sabha member from Amritsar to run away from his much-hyped announcement of holding 'darbars'.
 
Taking a dig at Mr Singh, Mr Badal said Mr Amarinder Singh was not able to bear the scorching heat in the state so he was indulging in such "tantrums" to escape from his announced 'darbars'.
 
Mr Badal rejected the allegation of law-and-order problem in Punjab, saying there was no such problem in the state as the SAD-BJP government was committed to promote ethos of communal harmony, peace and brotherhood in the state.
 
Terming stray incidents of violence a "global phenomena", he said those could not be described as a "serious" problem as sporadic incidents of violence were being reported from countries like US "but it was wrong to politicise such sensitive matter".
 
 
Asked about steps taken by government to ensure uninterrupted power supply, Mr Badal said the state government has instructed made Punjab State Power Corporation Limited to ensure continuous power supply to farmers and domestic consumers during ongoing paddy season.
