[Ferozepur,Punjab]Dy CM Badal Lambasts Shashi Tharoor & Demands Bharat Ratn For Shaheede Azam Bhagat Singh
Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today demanded that the Congress give its views on the issue saying it “reflects the real thinking of the party”. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor equated Sedition Accused Kanhayia Kumar with Bhagat Singh,
Talking to media after addressing the political conference organised to mark the Martyrdom Day of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev at Khatkar Kalan, Sukhbir said that his party would soon write to the Centre to award ‘Bharat Ratna’ to Bhagat Singh.
Speaking in Ferozepur, Sukhbir advocated ‘Bharat Ratna’ for Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh, saying it will be a real tribute to the great martyr.
He inaugurated the ‘Amar Shahed Jyoti’ at Hussainiwala.
The International Airport at Mohali would be named after Shaheed Bhagat Singh as both Punjab and Haryana government had given consent for this and the Centre has already taken a decision in this regard, Sukhbir Badal claimed.
He said to educate people visiting Hussainiwala about its historical importance, a light and sound system would be set up here soon.
Badal said it’s a matter of great pride that out of total sacrifices in freedom struggle, contribution of Punjabis was more than 80 per cent and for paying tribute to their sacrifices, the Punjab government is constructing Jang-E-Azadi Memorial in the state.
