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.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Amarinder Singh said his government would be happy to work in conjunction with the Centre to ensure adherence to proper Covid-19 protocols, including testing and vaccination of pilgrims using the corridor.

Former Congress President and Sonia Gandhi's son, Rahul Gandhi, was also present during the meeting. The meeting was held at Sonia Gandhi's residence at 10 Janpath here.
The Prime Minister conveyed his warm greetings to President Biden and Vice President Harris and his appreciation for the initiatives taken by President Biden including those related to the Quad, Covid-19 and climate change.
Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has ordered Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL) to cancel or revisit all the "one-sided" pacts with private companies that are not contractually obligated to supply sufficient power to meet the state's peak demand during the paddy sowing and summer season.
