Punjab will never accept separatist forces: Youth Congress
Darpan News Desk IANS, 17 Feb, 2022 01:22 PM
New Delhi, Feb 17 (IANS) Charging Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with colluding with separatist forces to attain power, the Youth Congress said Punjab will never accept separatist forces.
Youth Congress members tried to take out a march but were stopped by the police just outside their office at Raisina Road.
Indian Youth Congress president Srinivas BV said: "Kejriwal wanted to become the Prime Minister by separating Punjab from India, by colluding with the separatists."
He asked whether Kejriwal himself wanted to become the Chief Minister of Punjab. Did Arvind Kejriwal take the side of people associated with separatism and Khalistan to get power. Does Arvind Kejriwal have any affiliation with such separatist organistions and groups?
"This is what AAP's founder Kumar Vishwas ji is saying and believe me, every Punjabi, every countryman is aware of the nefarious designs of AAP. The people of Punjab will never be ready for this," Srinivas said.
The 117-member Punjab Assembly is slated to go to the polls on February 20.
The statement reads: "The opposition parties stand firm and united on their demand for a discussion on the Pegasus issue in both the Houses, replied to by the Home Minister, as this has national security dimensions."
Patra condemned the recent incident in which a nine-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly gang-raped, murdered and then cremated by her attackers in South West Delhi on Sunday evening.
Despite mobile phones are prohibited inside a meeting room where prisoners meet with the visitors, this incident has brought forth the lapses on the part of the jail administration.
In a bid to highlight the rising air pollution as well as the serious health hazards faced by the people, a group of organisations, think tanks and civil society groups have joined hands to form 'Clean Air Punjab'.
Few hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the flood situation in the state, the latter wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, describing the flood as a ‘man made one', alleging that the "unprecedented release of water from the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) dams Panchet, Maithon and Tenughat" is responsible for the situation.
The incident took place on Sunday night and the victim's family members have alleged that the accused stuffed cloth into the girl's mouth and raped her.
