Amarinder’s Aim is to Capture SGPC And Put Me in Jail :Badal
[Chd,Pb]Amarinder’s Aim is to Put Me in Jail So I Am Prepared To Go To Jail:Badal
Former Five Time Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal Thursday said that his successor Amarinder Singh’s only aim was to put him behind bars.
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) patriarch was reacting to the chief minister’s address in the Punjab Assembly on Tuesday wherein he vowed to punish those guilty of the “horrendous” 2015 sacrilege incidents in the state.
Badal Said “After reading what Amarinder had said in the assembly, I straightaway came from my village to Chandigarh… I told the DGP that I am available for arrest… I am prepared to go to any jail in the country,” Badal said, adding that his fight against the policies of the Congress would continue.
Winding up the discussion on the Governor’s address in the ongoing Punjab budget session here, Singh spoke on incidents of sacrilege of religious texts and said that they occurred because of the “failure of the law and order system” during the SAD regime.
“What was that (sacrilege incidents). It was a failure of the law and order system,” Singh had said while pointing out that the Badal government had failed to accept even their own Commission’s report into the sacrilege incidents.
Amarinder had further informed the House that the Special Investigative Team formed to probe sacrilege and police firing incidents was doing its work and that he would take the findings of the Ranjit Singh Commission report to their logical conclusion.
However, Badal termed the SIT and the Commission set up by the Congress government as a “drama” and asserted: “Amarinder’s only goal is to put me in jail.”
The SAD leader further said that the Congress wanted to take control of the Sikh shrines in the state.
However, if there were any shortcomings in the probe of sacrilege incidents by the SAD-BJP combine government, then I apologise for it, Badal said further.
On February 18, the SIT probing the police firing at Behbal Kalan and Kotkapura on anti-sacrilege protesters, had arrested Inspector General Paramraj Singh Umranangal on the basis of evidence that he was in command and the procedure adopted to open fire was not correct.
Two persons were killed in the police firing in Behbal Kalan of Faridkot district.

[Jalandhar,Punjab] Cong Capt Amarinder Also Assures Free Power To Punjabi Farmers
PCC president Amarinder Singh today said if Congress comes to power, farmers will get free electricity.
He said if Congress is voted to power he will not only provide free power to farmers, but also ensure its regular supply.
Besides, Singh added, there will be no hidden charges as imposed on farmers by the Badal government.
He said the farmers were being made to pay huge amount of money for superfluous reasons that virtually negated the idea of free power. “I have promised that free power means completely free power without any hidden charges that you (Badal) are imposing,” he said.
Singh also challenged Badal to swear before Akal Takht that he had not signed and approved the construction of Satluj-Yamuna Link canal to “please” his friend and the then Haryana Chief Minister Devi Lal in 1978.
Referring to Badal’s charge that he was part of the design to construct the SYL, Singh said, “why have you kept quiet over Devi Lal’s statement in Haryana Vidhan Sabha that I made public where he has completely exposed your complicity”
