Sukhbir blames Kejriwal for blocking release of Bhullar

Chandigarh, March 2 (IANS) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday said by blocking the release of Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar, who was sentenced to death in the 1993 Delhi bomb blasts case, again Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal has "finally bared his true anti-Sikh and anti-Punjab fangs".
In a statement here, the SAD Chief said, "Kejriwal's hypocrisy and villainy stands exposed and his side-kicks in Punjab, Bhagwant Mann and Harpal Cheema, have now a lot to answer for to the Punjabis in general and to the Sikhs in particular on their party's anti-Sikh and anti-Punjab role."
Bhullar was convicted and sentenced to death in 2011 in the 1993 Delhi bomb blasts case. In March 2014, however, the Supreme Court commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment owing to his ill health.
Reacting angrily to the refusal of the Delhi government's review committee to recommend an immediate release of Bhullar, Badal described it as "the first shock of reality check to those who were foolish enough to trust Kejriwal's promises on Bhullar during the poll and didn't believe us when we pointed to his anti-Sikh communal mindset."
Badal said SAD's "fact based" allegations against AAP in general and its national convener in particular stood fully vindicated now.
Arvind Kejriwal kept lying to the Sikhs and befooling them with fake, villainous smiles all through the election campaign. But as the elections are over, he has been quick to reveal his true feline colours, and it has not even taken him long to do so. "The cat is truly out of the bag," Badal added.
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General M.M. Naravane, reached Kashmir on Wednesday on a two-day visit to review the prevailing security situation in the Union Territory (UT), the army said in a statement.
"There have been several unfounded media reports that have peddled misinformation among the masses regarding this exercise of national importance," a ministry statement said, adding that the total number of Covid vaccine doses administered in the country so far stand at 21,85,46,667.
The Congress said that it was "appropriate for our initial statement to note that the intrusion by Israeli forces into the Holy Al Aqsa mosque during Ramzan prayers had ruptured the delicate peace in the region".
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday suggested the young patients should be prioritised in the distribution of Liposomal Amphotericin B drug, used for treating black fungus, "as they hold promise of future over the older ones who have lived their lives".
Giving information about the cases of black fungus, Kejriwal said nearly 944 cases of black fungus have been reported in Delhi, of these nearly 300 patients are being treated in various Central government-run hospitals here.
